English: Resting in Section O, Grave 729, at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego is Sgt. James Irsley Poynter, a Marine veteran of several World War II campaigns and the Korean War. Poynter, a native of Bloomington, Ill., earned his Medal of Honor for actions July 19, 1950, on Hill 532. While a squad leader with the 7th Marine Regiment, he single-handedly charged three enemy machinegun positions and wiped them out before succumbing to wounds sustained in the effort to enable his fellow Marines to fight off an enemy assault. Also a recipient of the Bronze Star with Combat �V� in previous actions in Korea, Poynter was buried with military honors at Fort Rosecrans Nov. 4, 1950.
