Details Behind Award
Lieutenant, Junior Grade Warren Calavan Gill, United States Coast Guard, was awarded the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States in the pre-assault training of officers and men for small boat operations and as Commander of an assault force during the assault on Sicily in 1943. His effort and enthusiasm inspired in the small boat flotillas a spirit of determination that was largely responsible for their success. General Orders: U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office
