The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star (Army Award) to Corporal Dick Moore (MCSN: 1084859), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as a member of Reconnaissance Detachment, First Provisional Marine Brigade, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces near Kosong, Korea, on 10 August 1950. When an estimated enemy company ambushed his platoon, Corporal Moore, with complete disregard for his personal safety, attacked and destroyed two heavily supported machine gun emplacements. His daring actions completely demoralized the enemy troops and enabled his platoon to rout them from the area. The outstanding courage and intrepidity displayed by Corporal Moore were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
