The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Medical Corps) Raymond N. MacAndrew (ASN: 0-1874442), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of the Medical Company, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy on 14 August 1952 in the vicinity of Chorwon, Korea. On that date, a party of wounded men returning to the aid station reported by radio that they had lost their way. Lieutenant MacAndrew organized a search party, and personally carrying a large quantity of medical supplies, went out to look for the wounded men. Upon finding the wounded men, Lieutenant MacAndrew, despite an intense enemy mortar and small arms barrage, administered emergency treatment, and was responsible for saving many lives. During this action Lieutenant MacAndrew used a rubber tube from a jeep to blow air into the collapsed lungs of a wounded man, thereby enabling him to breathe again. The gallantry in action displayed by Lieutenant MacAndrew reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
