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 Specialist Fourth Class Peter P. Moskovich, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Baker Beach, Presidio of San Francisco, California, on 20 April 1969. On that date, while on routine patrol as a military policeman, Specialist Moskovich noticed a young man being carried out to sea by the heavy surf. Specialist Moskovich immediately reacted and, at the risk of his own life, ran into the waves without removing heavy gear or any part of his uniform, thereby further endangering himself, and pulled the individual back to the beach. By his courageous action and humanitarian regard for his fellow man, in the dedication of his service to his country, Specialist Moskovich has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
