CITATION:
Silver Star : The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant First Class Corey L. Lamoreaux, United States Army, for gallantry in action against an armed enemy from 3 March 2002 to 4 March 2002, while serving as a Medic on an MH-47E Helicopter of the 2d Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), in support of Task Force 11, engaged in combat actions during Operation ANACONDA, in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, in Afghanistan. Sergeant First Class Lamoreaux's actions under direct enemy fire were instrumental in the survival of his crew and passengers in the moments preceding and immediately following the shoot down of his aircraft and subsequent actions on the objective, and helped set the conditions for the rescue operation of United States Forces under fire. Through his distinctive accomplishments, Sergeant First Class Lamoreaux reflected great credit upon himself, the United States Army, and the Department of Defense.
