The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to Coxswain Frank A. Spiller, United States Naval Reserve, for heroic conduct when the U.S.S. GLENNON (DD-620) struck a mine on 8 June 1944. Coxswain Spiller was thrown from a compartment up and out through a break in the deck. Although wounded himself, he returned to the compartment and succeeded in removing three wounded men, leaving just before the compartment became submerged.
