COLUMBUS, Ohio— The Silver Star Medal will be posthumously presented to Pvt. Marvin L. Rouhier’s surviving siblings during a ceremony at Wooster High School Performing Arts Center in Wooster, Ohio, Aug. 18 at 10 a.m.
Brig. Gen. John C. Harris, assistant adjutant general for Army, Ohio National Guard, will present the medal on behalf of Lt. Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, commanding general, Third Army, U.S. Army Central, Lt. Col. David S. Cannon, Third Army/ARCENT Special Troop Battalion commander will represent Brooks.
Orders awarding the medal to Rouhier were published and documented during World War II. At that time, an official capable of facilitating the formal presentation to a surviving family member did not come in contact with the orders. Rouhier’s nephew Charles Rouhier, discovered the orders through researching his family and asked Third Army’s assistance in recognizing his deceased uncle.
