The following was in the Jackson Citizen Patriot of Sunday 18 February 1945 "Onondaga Man Wins Silver Star - For daring and courage in action in France, Corp. George Dean Noble, son of Fred Noble of Onondaga, Ingham county, has been awarded the Silver Star, and the soldier has sent the award to his father for safe-keeping. A citation, signed by Maj. Gen. L.S. Hobbs, accompanied the award. It reads as follows "Pvt. Noble (his promotion to Corporal came later) was assigned to duty with an infantry organization engaged in repulsing a vigorous enemy counter-attack. During the attack many enemy tanks overran friendly positions. Pvt. Noble and a group of his comrades crawled over open terrain, and though exposed to enemy fire from mortars, artillery and small arms, they destroyed an enemy tank which threatened the command post. The daring, personal courage and aggressive initiative displayed by Pvt. Noble reflect great credit on himself and in keeping with the highest traditions of the armed forces" Corp. Noble entered military service in April, 1942, while he was employed by the Camshaft Machine Co. plant, Woodworth Rd., north of Jackson. His father also worked there. He went overseas a little over a year ago. A brother, Pvt. Warren Noble, is also in the Army and is now on the west coast."
