The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant (Infantry) James H. Dolan (ASN: 0-955079), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action as a member of Company K, 3d Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, in action near Anju, Korea, on 5 November 1950. A numerically superior enemy force attacked his battalion’s position and succeeded in penetrating the line on Lieutenant Dolan’s flank. Refusing to withdraw or change positions, he ejected the enemy from his position and completely repelled the attack. His calm, cool actions and utter disregard for safety were an inspiration to his men, who, time after time, repulsed strong attacks and maintained the company’s position. As a result of his successful stand against overwhelming odds, the flank unit was enabled to regroup and successfully counterattacked to regain its former positions. Lieutenant Dolan’s fearless actions and outstanding leadership reflect the greatest credit on himself and the U.S. Infantry.
