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 Warrant Officer Robert H. Moshimer, United States Army, for heroism involving voluntary risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy, at sea on 26 October 1942, at the time of the sinking of the U.S. Transport PRESIDENT COOLIDGE. When the ship started to settle, Mr. Moshimer helped his own men to safety and then remained at the starboard gangway to assist others through the opening. The heroism he displayed on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
