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 Private First Class Kenneth H. Anderson (ASN: 36574017), United States Army, for heroism involving voluntary risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy in France. Private Anderson, Company C, 503d Military Police Battalion, distinguished himself by his conduct near Etain, France, on 5 December 1944. Without regard for his own safety he braved fire and exploding ammunition at the scene of an airplane crash to save valuable government property. His courage and devotion to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
