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 First Class William F. Inskeep, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as Station Commander of the United States Army Recruiting Station, Cuyahoga Falls Ohio on 11 September 1964. Sergeant Inskeep was standing in front of this Recruiting Station when he saw a small child fall from an automobile as the driver turned into a busy thoroughfare. With complete disregard for his own safety, Sergeant Inskeep rushed to the aid of the child lying in the path of heavy traffic. Realizing that another vehicle was rounding the corner too fast for him to move the small boy to safety, he used his body as a shield for the child, frantically signaled the driver, and succeeded in getting the driver’s attention in time for him to swerve and miss hitting them by inches. Sergeant Inskeep’s heroic conduct and prompt action in this hazardous situation are in the highest traditions of the United States Army and reflect great credit upon himself in the military service.
