The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Corporal Robert Boring (ASN: ER-35088422), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company A, 23d Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy on 29 May 1951, in the vicinity of Inje, Korea. On that date he was a member of an infantry unit which had the mission of attacking a vital sector of enemy-held high ground overlooking the main supply route. As the unit advanced toward its objective it was subjected to intense enemy automatic weapons fire. Immediately Corporal Boring advanced to the foremost point of the friendly positions and from this position fired his automatic weapon upon the enemy until he had successfully silenced the enemy’s position, killing or wounding many of the hostile force. His courageous action contributed materially to the success of the attack. The gallantry displayed by Corporal Boring reflects great credit upon himself and upholds the highest traditions of the Military Service of the United States.
