SILVER STAR CITATION:
In the name of the President of the United Staes, the Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, takes pleasure in awarding the SILVER STAR MEDAL to CORPORAL EDWARD W DUBECK, USMCR for the service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For conspicious gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy forces on TINIAN, MARIANAS ISLANDS. Shortly after the landing on Tinian, on 24 July, 1944, the machine gun of which Cpl Dubeck was in command, was destroyed by the enemy. At the same time a squad leader of the rifle squad was wounded. Cpl Dubeck, seeing that his machine gun was inoperative, immediately took command of the rifle squad dna continued to lead it towards an enemy pillbox. His leadership was responsible for knocking out this pocket of enemy resistance. Shortly thereafter, while continuing to lead this squad, Cpl Dubeck was wounded by enemy fire. His initiative, presence of mind, and fighting spirit were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service..
Beloved husband of Viola D. (nee Mulrine). Loving father of Edward “Nicky” (Jacky), Karen Hickey (Bob) and Patty Gugliotta (Sal). Also sadly missed by 8 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Dear brother of Leona Zembrzuwski, Florence Costello and Mildred Terzyk.
