The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private Stanley Shelton Robinson (MCSN: 1082138), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Rifle Squad Leader of Company E, 2d Battalion, Seventh Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 27 September 1950. When a strong hostile force attacked his company’s position and overran a portion of his squad’s sector, Private Robinson launched a single-handed assault against the outnumbering enemy and succeeded in re-capturing the position. With his squad’s ammunition almost exhausted, he again exposed himself to the intense fire to run to the supply point and obtain a resupply, subsequently returning and fighting gallantly on until the defense of his company was assured. By his daring initiative, indomitable fighting spirit and cool courage in the face of heavy odds, Private Robinson served as an inspiration to all who observed him, and his heroic efforts were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
