The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Private First Class Stevenson Wesley Moomaw (ASN: 34804074), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as a Medical Aidman with Company A, 53d Armored Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division, in action against enemy forces in Germany, on 25 March 1945. During a fierce enemy counterattack near Grossenheim, Germany, Private Moomaw gallantly exposed himself to heavy enemy artillery and mortar fire to administer aid to wounded comrades. Observing a wounded man lying in an open area covered by enemy sniper and machine gun fire he fearlessly went to his aid and was hit by enemy sniper fire. Disregarding his wound he heroically continued to render aid although he was mortally wounded by two more shots from the hidden enemy rifleman. Private Moomaw’s superb courage and supreme devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the armed forces.
