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 Gale S. Moore (ASN: RA-19302645), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, in action against the enemy near Chonan, Korea, on 5 July 1950. Sergeant Moore was at the Battalion Command Post which was located on the side of a hill. The Command Post was under intense enemy artillery fire which made the position untenable. The order was given to withdraw from this position. Sergeant Moore stayed at the position to direct the men as to where they were to go, and helped several men who had been wounded out of the area and to places of safety. He stayed at his position with no regard to his own personal safety and checked the area to make sure that all the men had gotten out. During this time Sergeant Moore suffered heart attack and requested to be left behind as he would slow the progress of the other men. With the aid of some other men he was able to make it to a place of safety. This heroic action on the part of Sergeant Moore reflects great credit on himself and the Military Service.
