The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Sergeant Robert W. Jamieson (MCSN: 1199688), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as a Squad Leader of Company G, Third Battalion, First Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 24 – 25 July 1953. During a vicious attack by a numerically superior hostile force on the company’s position, Sergeant Jamieson fearlessly exposed himself to murderous enemy small arms, mortar and artillery fire in order to direct his men more effectively in repelling the hostile attack. Although painfully wounded, he refused evacuation and gallantly continued to lead the remnants of his squad in bitter hand-to-hand fighting until a second serious wound forced him to be evacuated. By his skilled leadership, aggressive fighting spirit and courageous initiative, Sergeant Jamieson served to inspire all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
