AWARD OF THE BRONZE STAR MEDAL - FEBRUARY 4, 1945

“3550032.  Sergeant, for heroic conduct in action on 18 September, 1944, in Holland.  Sergeant Vujevic, Chief of sections, after his glider had landed in enemy territory, under heavy small arms and mortar fire, directed the men of his section through hostile lines to a place of safety. He then obtained a quarter ton truck for use as a prime mover and, disregarding his own personal safety, went back through the line to the glider, unloaded his howitzer and equipment from the glider and brought it through the lines without losing a man from his section.  During the entire time he was subjected to constant enemy small arms and mortar fire. His courage under fire was an example and inspiration to the men under his command. He at all times demonstrated the coolness and courage exemplifying the best traditions of the service. Entered military service from Brookfield, Ohio. “
