Lt. E. Ebeling
Receives Star
Posthumously
The Silver Star Medal, awarded
posthumously to 2nd Lt. Edwin
M. Ebeling, former university
student, was presented to " his
mother, Mrs. Irene M. Ebeling, by
Col. James P. Murphy, director of
the military training activities at
the university at ceremonies held
on the campus Friday afternoon.
The citation for the award is as
follows:
"For gallantry in action on
March 7, 1945, near Schwarzen
bohn, Germany. When the enemy
launched a determined tank-infantry
attack in an attempt to re
take the town of Schwarzenbohn,
Lieutenant Ebeling, a forward
observer, heedless ot the great
danger, efficiently arranged and
directed a defense that succeeded
in inflicting tremendous casualties
among the enemy personnel.
When it became necessary to dis
engage the enemy, Lieutenant Eb
eling furnished protective fire
while small groups of our forces
successfully infiltrated through
the enemy lines to safety. While
so engaged, Lieutenant Ebeling
was killed by enemy fire. His in
trepid and superior leadership re
sulting in his supreme self-sacrifice
reflects great credit upon
himself and the military service."
Lt. Ebeling graduated from
Nebraska business administration
college in 1943. He completed the
advanced course, ROTC, at the
university and was commissioned
a 2nd Lt. Infantry-Reserve in De
cember 1943.
