[2] Sergeant Weicht's official Medal of Honor citation reads: For commanding an assault squad in Company F's attack against the strategically important Alsace town of St. Hippolyte on December 3, 1944.

Upon rounding a bend, the group was suddenly brought under the fire of 2 machineguns emplaced in the door and window of a house 100 yards distant.

Weicht moved rapidly forward to a high rock wall and, fearlessly exposing himself to the enemy action, fired 2 clips of ammunition from his rifle.

When the barrage lifted and the enemy soldiers attempted to remove their gun, he killed 2 crewmembers and forced the others to flee.

Weicht continued to lead his squad forward until he spotted a road block approximate 125 yards away.
