The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant [then Technician Fourth Grade] Haskell C. Moore (ASN: 35653774), United States Army, for gallantry in action against the enemy while serving with Headquarters, 18th Tank Battalion, 8th Armored Division, in Germany on 11 April 1945. When his tank was hit by enemy fire and was burning, Sergeant Moore drove it to a covered position. He mounted to the turret under constant sniper fire to administer first aid to wounded members of the crew. His actions, carried out without regard for his own safety, reflect great credit on himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.
