"Sgt. Anthony B. ZASO, Infantry, Company L, 413th Infantry Regiment. As Sgt. ZASO's platoon advanced to the objective, three men were seriously wounded by heavy enemy artillery and mortar fire and lay completely exposed in open terrain. Voluntarily and at great risk to his life, Sgt. ZASO left his covered position to make three trips across the fifty yards of treacherous terrain to administer first aid to, and evacuate, the three men. Sgt. ZASO's initiative and courage in the performance of the self-assigned task, above and beyond the call of duty, are in keeping with the finest traditions of the American soldier. Entered military service from Brooklyn, NY"
