I have my grandfathers. They were given the citation on August 28th 1992. It reads To: Sergeant James N. Catellane, United States Army For: Meritorious Achievement in ground combat against the armed enemy during World War II in the European, African and Middle Eastern Theater of Operations. Check with the U.S. War Office to see if they can send you a copy of his individual citation, because its really neat! Good Luck, James N. Catellane III This was a unit citation.
