The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Chief Gunner’s Mate George F. Brady, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism in action on board the torpedo boat U.S.S. Winslow during the actions at Cardenas, Cuba, 11 May 1898. Conspicuously gallant during this period, Chief Gunner’s Mate Brady, by his energy in assisting to sustain fire, his efforts to repair the steering gear and his promptness in maintaining watertight integrity, was largely instrumental in saving the vessel.
