Silver Star : The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Ensign Carmon F. Pirro (NSN: 0-189354), United States Naval Reserve, for gallantry in action while in charge of a scout boat during the invasion of Italy in September 1943. Ensign Pirro proceeded through gunfire and darkness in advance of the main attack. Finding his position, he directed an assault wave to the designated landing point and enabled the boats to disembark with minimum losses. His gallant actions and dedicated devotion to duty, without regard for his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Naval Service.
