    The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star (Army Award) to Lieutenant Colonel Anthony F. Story (AFSN: AO-523446), United States Air Force, for gallantry in action as Aide-de-Camp and pilot to General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, Commander-in-Chief, United Nations Command, in action in Korea during the period 27 June to 30 September 1950. His actions in flying successfully and safely many missions in an unarmed plane over enemy-held territory or into areas subject to enemy attack contributed materially to the success of the campaign. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by Lieutenant Colonel Story, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
