Citation:
"For gallantry in action in Germany on 1 March 1945. In the assault on a strongly defended enemy town, Lieutenant Bohman, at great risk to his life and in the face of concentrated enemy artillery and mortar fire, went forward and reconnoitered possible sites for his mortars. As the action continued, Lieutenant Bohman ascertained that it was necessary for his platoon to secure a good observation post in order to deliver effective fire on the enemy. Disregarding the heavy enemy fire, he established an observation post in a prominent building and remained there for two days, despite constant enemy shelling. Lieutenant Bohman's courage and coolness under fire exemplify the finest traditions of the American officer and combat leader."
