For exceptional valor on 26 May 2010 with United States Operational Mentor and Liaison Team 1.3, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Sergeant Blackmore exemplified great tactical skill and expertise when helping his unit defend against an intense enemy attack.

Sergeant Blackmore’s discipline and bravery brings great credit upon himself, United States Operational Mentor and Liaison Team 1.3 and the United States Army.
