    The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Chief Fire Controlman Raymen C. Booze (NSN: 3558620), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy in performance of his duties as Assistant Torpedo Data Computer Operator and leading Fire Controlman. His quick thinking and calmness under the stress of battle conditions during a war patrol in a United States Submarine were of great assistance and directly contributed to the excellent torpedo performance which resulted in severe damage to the enemy.

His conduct throughout was at all times inspiring and in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
