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 Sergeant Kyle C. Baggett, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy in rescuing a man and a woman from a burning automobile that had crashed on the highway near Cusseta, Georgia, on 6 April 1941. While Sergeant Baggett and another enlisted man were returning to their barracks by automobile, they came upon an automobile that had left the highway, overturned, crashed into a corner of a building, and was on fire. Unable to open the jammed doors of the car, they kicked out the glass and saw that the car was occupied by a man and a woman who had been knocked unconscious. By presence of mind and quick action, Sergeant Baggett and his companion, with utter disregard for personal safety, succeeded in extricating the two persons from the blazing wreck, thereby saving their lives. The heroism displayed by Sergeant Baggett on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
