Congressional Medal patent of decoration

It is written down to the patent of decoration of Congressional Medal conferred on ヴラグ as follows.

When the U.S. forces checkpoint of the Orr mock highway caught the attack of the enemy tank corps, he showed bravery and the prowess that a kind to surpass duty assigned to me was rare. In the intense bombardment with a machine gun and the 37mm gun, he jumped out of shielding having a rocket launcher and six bullets. After having put a rocket bomb by oneself, I killed all the crew with one shooting and at first destroyed a tank of the first car. He tried that the crews of the tank of the second car got off and attacked him, but he shot one of those dead with a pistol. Other soldiers escaped in a tank again, but the second shot rocket bomb destroyed this tank. I moved to the front again and already destroyed one while his overthrowing this from the side of the lead car when the tank of three remainder moved on the road, and receiving the intense counterfire from an enemy. The enemy tank did 擱座 by the last shooting and rolled down a steep embankment for it. With courage not to waver while facing many enemies, the ヴラグ first class private destroyed five enemy tanks alone and facilitated the duty accomplishment of the battalion.
