Impossible Missions Win Silver Star for Coffey in Sicily
Sgt. John D. Coffey of the 45th Infantry Division earned the Silver Star for guiding Coffey's Rangers on 144 missions in Sicily. He crossed the Sele River at Salerno with two exhausted men to capture a German prisoner, an act that drew praise from Gen. Mark Clark and earned the Soviet Order of Patriotic War. Coffey, a Longmont native, led his unit through brutal river crossings, evading fire and disrupting German positions, with 33 enemy killed in action and over 1,000 accounted for overall. He remains stationed at Fort Sam Houston with his wife and six‑month‑old daughter Janice.
