Citation:
"For gallantry in action in Germany on 21 April 1945. While moving into an attack as lead scout, Private Bermingham successfully located several prepared enemy positions which he engaged with rifle fire, killing six and capturing four enemy soldiers. Accompanied by a few men, he then worked his way into a neighboring enemy-held town and captured three additional prisoners. These heroic actions, far above and beyond the call of duty, exemplify the finest military traditions and reflect the highest credit upon Private Bermingham and the armed forces of the United States."
