World War I Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Sawelson served as a Sergeant, United States Army, Company M, 312th Infantry, 78th Division. He was awarded his medal posthumously for service At Grand-Pre, France, on October 26, 1918.

His citation reads-Hearing a wounded man in a shell hole some distance away calling for water, Sgt. Sawelson, upon his own initiative, left shelter and crawled through heavy machine gun fire to where the man lay, giving him what water he had in his canteen. He then went back to his own shell hole, obtained more water, and was returning to the wounded man when he was killed by a machine gun bullet.
