Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment: In the battle on 12.26.44 Comrade Grigoryan was the first to lead his squad to attack the enemy and burst into the hitlerites' trench. In the ensuing trench battle machine gun fire and grenades destroyed the fascist invaders, with him personally destroying 8 hitlerites and was himself wounded, but after receiving medical care at the regimental aid post (PMP) he returned to ranks. In the attack on 23.01.45, despite heavy machine gun fire, he led his squad in a well-organised attack which broke into the enemy line. In the ensuing battle for possession of the trench Comrade Grigoryan was seriously wounded.

CONCLUSION: for showing courage and bravery, and shedding blood in the battle for the Soviet homeland against the German invaders Comrade Grigoryan is worthy of the government award “Order of Glory 3rd class”.
