Award of the Silver Star was made with citation as follows 'Eisuke Asato, 30105962, Private First Class, Inf., Company 'I', Regimental Combat Team, for gallantry in action on 27 October 1944, in France, while acting as flank security for his company during an approach march. Upon sighting an enemy machine gun emplacement 20 yards away, Private Asato warned his men of the danger in time for them to seeek cover before the enemy machine gun and its supporting weapons opened fire upon the company's column. Realizing that the company was pinned down by the intense enemy fire, Private Asato and a comrade fearlessly advanced within 10 yards of the battle emplacement, firing as they made their way forward. Unnerved by the relentless advance of their opponents, the enemy machine gunners abandoned their positions and withdrew.'
