How do you find the citation for a World War 1 Silver Star?

You wouldn't. The Silver Star Medal was first awarded in 1932, fourteen years after WWI ended.
Finding a WWII citation is very difficult. This award was within the authority of a division commander, a two star general. Notations and a copy of the citation would have been included in each awardee's personnel file, but 90% of all WWII personnel files burned in a fire in a warehouse in St. Louis in 1971. You could ask for a copy of the serviceman's personnel file from the National Archives (nara.gov) and you might get lucky and find he is among the 10% whose file was unburned.
Most branches of the service were very good about sending a copy of the citation to the newspaper in the hometown of men who earned a decoration. Many newspapers printed these in their entirety. If you know where the man was from and can get to the local library there, AND they have the wartime issues of the newspaper on microfilm, then you could go through (hopefully you could narrow down the time frame) page by page and perhaps get lucky that way.

You can't, no one wins anything in war! You are AWARDED a medal or decoration. All you civilians out there; let that sink in. That is a tremendous difference and that difference means a lot to us. Basically, it has to do with the memory of those "who are forever young", for in this "game" not everyone is alive when it's over. Other than that, Google it.
