The President of the United States of America, under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) to Corporal Robert John Malloy (ASN: RA-6145676), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving with Company C, 1st Battalion, 32d Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. Corporal Malloy distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor forces near Seoul, Korea, on 26 September 1950. Patrolling near the Seoul City Race Track in an area between two high roadbeds through a low river valley, Corporal Malloy’s platoon was ambushed from the right by a heavily armed force located on high ground across the river. Deadly, direct fire from the enemy inflicted heavy casualties and completely pinned down the right flank. Upon hearing the cries of the wounded, Corporal Malloy, with utter disregard for his life, left his position of comparative safety and crossed into the fire-swept area to aid his men. Heedless of warnings to stay down in the face of the devastating fire, he treated the wounded and assisted in their evacuation to safety until he was mortally wounded by a burst of hostile fire. The extraordinary heroism displayed by Corporal Malloy on this occasion reflects the greatest credit on himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
