Bronze Star Medal
Mullen, Joseph W. 1st Lt.: BSM, GO 15, 1944.
01182430. For heroic conduct in action from 8 October, 1944, to 15 October, 1944, in Holland. On 14 October, 1944, in Holland, the company area in which 1st Lt. Mullen maintained his CP was subjected to intense harassing fire by enemy machine guns. 1st Lt. Mullen crept forward to the furthest outpost, which was the only spot to observe the fire, and neutralized the enemy machine gun fire. He was under enemy observation on his way out and on his return. This action not only silenced the machine gun but prevented many possible casualties. This is just one instance of many instances of similar action on 1st Lt. Mullen’s part. Such actions and endeavors by 1st Lt. Mullen reflect the highest credit upon himself and the military service. Entered Military service from Kentland, Indiana.
