Citation:
James Boodry (03317876), First Lieutentant, Infantry, United States Army. For gallantry in action on 9 and 10 May 1944, in the vicinity of Isola Bella, Italy. Lt Boodry, accompanied by another man, volunteered to go on a continued reconnaissance behind enemy lines to get vital information needed for subsequent raids. While moving up, they were subjected to enemy machine gun and mortar harassing fires, as well as our own friendly artillery fire, but fearlessly continued on to a vantage point approximately 50 yards to the left rear of an enemy outpost and here they remained all day, observing and noting enemy installations. Lt Boodry withdrew the following night with his comrade, and reported to his organization with vital information, which materially aided in the plans for a subsequent raid. Lt Boodry 's outstanding performance without regard for his own personal safety was in keeping with the highest tradition of the military services.
