The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” to Corporal Claude Boslem (ASN: RA-37436691), United States Army, for heroic achievement while serving with, Company A, 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in Korea. On the morning of 22 August 1950 at about 0400 hours, a large enemy force drove Corporal Boslem’s platoon from its position near Haman, Korea. Joining a group of seven men, Corporal Boslem participated in a bold counter-attack in the face of overwhelmingly superior numbers of enemy and regained the position. Although grenades and ammunition were nearly gone, they held and inflicted severe casualties on the hostile force until withdrawal to better positions was necessary. By his courageous devotion to duty and will to fight, Corporal Boslem enabled his unit to reorganize and finally repel the enemy; his actions are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Army.
