The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Charles E. Boswell, Jr. (MCSN: 0-31278), United States Marine Corps, for heroism while participating in aerial flight as a Pilot attached to a Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron from 22 September 1950 to 7 December 1950. Captain Boswell successfully completed his first through thirty-fifth combat mission against the enemy in Korea. Most of these flights were at night, deep into enemy territory, and anti-aircraft fire was either received or expected. His actions greatly hampered the movement of enemy vehicular traffic to the front lines. Captain Boswell’s skillful airmanship and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
