The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant First Class Earl F. Dorow (ASN: RA-16361786), United States Army, for gallantry in action as a member of Company B, 1st Battalion, 65th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, in action against an armed enemy in Korea. During the afternoon of 17 July 1953, in the vicinity of Kumhwa, Korea, several members of Sergeant Dorow’s platoon unknowingly entered a minefield while returning from a patrol and sustained a number of casualties. Learning of the incident, Sergeant Dorow immediately organized a rescue party and courageously guided the group into the mined area to evacuate the trapped men. Suddenly, the enemy commenced to fire heavy artillery and mortar concentrations on the rescue operation. Disregarding the bombardment, he remained exposed to the fire and repeatedly made trips through the mined terrain until all personnel had been safely removed. Sergeant Dorow’s outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
