                            Awarded Silver Star
  
       For bravery and mertorious conduct in action, Sgt. Eugene T. Muskey, son 
  of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Muskey, 1324 Mulberry Street, has been awarded the silver 
  start, it was learned today.
  
       Seageant Muskey, veteran of the North Africian, Sicilian and Italian 
  campaigns, won the high Army honor October 13, 1943, when crossing the Volturno 
  River, his platoon was caught in an artillery concentration and tank offensive 
  by the Nazis.
  
       Noticing one of his companions wounded Seageant Muskey, with disregard of 
  his own saftey, ran forty yards exposed to enemy fire and succeeded in 
  bandaging his comrade's wound and getting him to a place of cover.
  
       Sergeant Muskey has two brothers in the service, Corporal Joseph, 
  stationed in Indiana and Sergeant John at Hendricks Field, Fla.
