The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Woodrow L. Weaver (ASN: RA-14086732), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company C, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. On 29 November 1950, near Majon-ni, Korea, Private Weaver, gunner for a 3.5 inch rocket launcher, aided the advance of Company C. As the company was moving forward the third platoon became subjected to intense enemy fire. Private Weaver, with utter disregard for his personal safety and heedless of the heavy fire from the enemy, stood up and calmly fired his rocket launcher at a machine gun while the other members of the platoon were pinned down. Although he was under fire from the machine gun as well as intense small arms fire and men were being hit on both sides of him, he continued to fire until the machine gun was silenced. His bravery and coolness under fire reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
