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 (Infantry) Albert R. Moses (ASN: 0-62235), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company E, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, in action against the enemy on 4 February 1951, near Konjiam-ni, Korea. During the attack against a firmly entrenched enemy on Hill 512, the assaulting elements were subjected to an extremely heavy volume of small arms and automatic weapons fire which temporarily halted one platoon. Lieutenant Moses immediately maneuvered the remainder of the unit to the flank, and with complete disregard for his safety, personally led them in charging the hostile positions. The enemy, disorganized by this attack, broke and fled to the rear. When the foe attempted to counterattack, Lieutenant Moses and his company engaged them in hand-to-hand combat and routed them for a second time. The Chinese then launched a third vicious assault, and Lieutenant Moses, despite the intense fire, moved forward to lead elements and assisted them in repelling the enemy for the final time. His aggressiveness and conspicuous gallantry reflect great credit on himself and the military service.
