The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Captain James T. Doswell, II (MCSN: 0-37810), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Pilot of a Plane in Marine All Weather Fighter Squadron FIVE HUNDRED THIRTEEN (VMF(AW)-513), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 13 November 1951. Observing an enemy train in the immediate vicinity of Sinmak during the early morning hours, Captain Doswell directed the accompanying flare-dropping aircraft to illuminate the area and immediately executed a series of napalm, bombing and strafing attacks at minimum safe altitude despite haze and smoke conditions, resulting in the complete destruction of the locomotive and twelve boxcars. On the night of the same date, he located and destroyed five loaded trucks and, when directed to search for another train which had been sighted, soon discovered the reported target. Despite intense hostile anti-aircraft fire, he carried out damaging strafing attacks against the enemy locomotive until his remaining ammunition was expended. By his superb airmanship, daring initiative and gallant devotion to duty in the face of extreme hazards, Captain Doswell upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
