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 Master Sergeant Steven J. Greer, United States Army, for heroism involving voluntary risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Master Sergeant Greer distinguished himself in an heroic manner on 16 May 1994, in Fayetteville, North Carolina, after witnessing a head-on automobile collision. With the possibility of an explosion from a leaking gasoline tank, Master Sergeant Greer, with absolute total disregard for his own personal safety, saved the lives of two occupants by removing them from the vehicle. Master Sergeant Greer continued life-saving efforts until emergency medical assistance arrived. Master Sergeant Greer’s dedication to duty, both on and off, reflects great credit on him and the United States Army.
