The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Sergeant Conrad Noll, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 12 May 1864, while serving with Company D, 20th Michigan Infantry, in action at Spotsylvania, Virginia. Sergeant Noll seized the colors, the Color Bearer having been shot down, and gallantly fought his way out with them, though the enemy were on the left flank and rear.
