Chaplain Moore rescued one man from a steep mountainside in the Sicilian fighting, and eight from a minefield which had cost the lives of two other soldiers who preceded him in efforts to evacuate the wounded. The gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty demonstrated by Chaplain Moore, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
