The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Captain (Medical Corps) Robert B. Sarajian (ASN: 0-5292298), United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Camp Young, Korea on 23 December 1966 while serving as Battalion Surgeon, 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry, 2d Infantry Division. On this date he was on duty at the Camp Young Dispensary, when upon hearing a commotion outside, he left the dispensary to investigate. He observed a crowd of personnel around a telephone pole and a ladder leading up to a platform which was affixed to the telephone wires and the pole. There were two soldiers on the platform, one of them lying flat on the platform with his feet entangled in the high tension wires and apparently seriously injured. Thinking only of rendering medical assistance and with complete disregard for his own safety, Captain Sarajian proceeded to climb the swaying ladder. Upon reaching the platform, he discovered that the man had been accidentally electrocuted and had no pulse. He then administered cardiac resuscitation and managed to carry the soldier to the ground where he performed artificial respiration and transferred him to the dispensary. His quick thinking and prompt action enabled him to save the life of the injured soldier. Captain Sarajian’s gallantry and heroic action in the face of danger is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 2d Infantry Division, and the United States Army. [This award supersedes award of the Army Commendation Metal for heroism on 23 December 1966, as announced in General Orders Number 21, Headquarters 2d Infantry Division, dated 1 February 1967.]
