DS as president, one page, 6.5 x 8, no date. Citation for a Bronze Star Medal to Mr. Eden Brenes “as Assistant to the Office of Strategic Services Representative at Tangier from September 1944 to August 1945…On one occasion he led a raid resulting in the capture of personnel, codes and radio equipment of an enemy submarine directing station, thus contributing materially to a reduction of the submarine menace in adjoining waters.” Archivally double matted and framed with Brenes’s Bronze Star and a portrait of Truman to an overall size of 20 x 16.5. In fine condition, with a couple light creases and a uniform light shade of toning.
Although a civilian, Brenes’ contribution to the war effort earned him one of the armed force’s highest commendations. In the later years of World War II, the greatest threat to the Allied war effort came from attacks on their ship convoys in the North Atlantic, with a great deal of resources dedicated to breaking the codes used by German U-boats. It is no doubt that Mr. Brenes’ bold raid, “resulting in the capture of personnel, codes and radio equipment of an enemy submarine directing station,” gave Allied forces the edge they needed in fighting the Axis powers. An incredibly important citation and honor bestowed by Truman upon one of the men who selflessly served his country during World War II.
