The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Master Sergeant David Robinson (ASN: RA-34667127), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company E, 2d Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in action on 21 July 1950 near Sanju, Korea. Master Sergeant Robinson, while going from a forward platoon under heavy fire to call for artillery fire, recovered two wounded men from an exposed position and removed them to safety. Despite heavy hostile action he also save two trailer loads of vital equipment. On 29 July he again saved four men who were being evacuated on a tank which had come under severe fire. Later that day he commanded the company for four hours and held a critical hill which the enemy was endeavoring to take. On 31 August when the enemy broke through and cut off his platoon, he kept his men in place and inspired them to hold and fight off repeated fanatical attacks for two days until relief could be brought in. Master Sergeant Robinson’s outstanding courage, initiative and leadership are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Army.
