Looking for Silver Star issued in 1944 to WWI Veteran Martin J Moran, I want to reunite it with his Purple Heart.

Martin was a First Sergeant serving with Co E, 305th Infantry, 77th Division when he was cited for valor for actions in which he was WIA.

305th Regimental history:

G.O. 14, February 12, 1919.
Moran, 1st Sgt. Martin J., 1697557, Co. E, 305th Inf.- Near St. Juvin, in the attack on Champigneulle on Nov 1, 1918, when his company came under withering machine gun fire, this sergeant with utter disregard for his personal safety, succeeded in bringing in wounded men and by his coolness and bravery inspired confidence in the men under him in spite of the most adverse conditions. Again on the 2d of November , 1918, during the capture of Champigneulle, he showed similar courage and coolness, exceptional devotion to duty and to his comrades until he was himself wounded.
Next of kin-Michael J. Cosgrove, friend 2698 Eighth Ave. New York, NY
I would like to purchase or trade for the Silver Star Medal but would consider purchase or trade to the care taker of the Silver Star Medal IOT reunite the medals.
Thanks in advance
John

Hello,

 

I recent acquired the Purple Heart to PFC Donald Edward Smith, USMC he was killed in action in Korea on 21 September 1951.

 

I'm looking for his Purple Heart Certificate. It was originally found by a forum member in August 2008 and was probably sold around that same time frame.

 

Here is the original post:

Any help in locating the certificate would be greatly appreciated.

 

Semper Fi,

Good evening all, I have been searching for the following medal:

 

1. Army Philippine Campaign Medal No.1470 to Robert H. Sillman. He was serving as a SGT. in Astor's Battery during the Span-Am War. Wounded in action at Manila, he was commissioned and was posted initially to the 15th Infantry.

 

He was in command of Fort Travis, Texas during WWI but was sent with the 27th Infantry to Siberia after the armistice.

 

He stayed in the Army until, I believe, 1932 and passed away shortly after, but before the Purple Heart was available.

 

He had a long and interesting career that this short posting does not do justice to!
