Mohler (ASN: 0-2011796), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company K, 3d Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy near Kyongju, Korea, on 9 September 1950. Moving his platoon into position for an attack, Lieutenant Mohler was wounded by a burst of a mortar shell.
