- The 761st Tank Battalion advanced on German positions in the town of Vic-sur-Seille, France. The battalion was stalled by trees across the road and they came under intense enemy fire. Staff Sergeant Ruben Rivers in the lead tank quickly dismounted, helped direct infantry fire, connected a cable to the tree trunks blocking the road, and pulled the roadblock out of the roadway before continuing leading the advance. Rivers was awarded the Silver Star for these actions, the first Silver Star awarded in the 761st Tank Battalion. ww2dbase [Advance to the Saar | Ruben Rivers | Vic-sur-Seille, Lorraine | DS]
