The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Pharmacist’s Mate Third Class Harry K. Wiley, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Corpsman attached to the Fifth Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, American Expeditionary Forces, in action at the front on 19 July 1918, when he constantly exposed himself to heavy artillery and machine-gun fire in carrying in the wounded in complete disregard of his own personal safety.
