The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Waylen G. Busho, United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy as a member of Company I, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, in action on 12 September 1950 near Taegu, Korea. While engaged in an attack against strongly fortified enemy hill positions, Corporal Busho came upon two wounded comrades. Completely exposed to heavy enemy machine gun and small arms fire, he remained in full view of the enemy and administered first aid to the men, end then moved them to a position of cover until they could be evacuated. Although he was wounded himself, Corporal Busho continued in the advance with the attacking force and did not stop advancing until loss of blood forced him to do so. By his fearless action and courageous example, Corporal Busho contributed greatly to saving the lives of two men and served as an inspiration to his comrades, giving them the courage to continue their mission. His gallant action reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
