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 Specialist Fourth Class George W. Wilson, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of the 13th United States Army Security Agency Operations Company, on 30 May 1964, in the vicinity of Yorkshire, England. Specialist Wilson was walking along the bank of the River Nidd when he heard the screams of children and saw a boy sink beneath the deep water. Without knowledge of the currents or possible hazards in the water, Specialist Wilson completely ignored his own safety, dove into the river, and succeeded in locating the submerged youth. After towing the boy to the bank of the river, he efficiently administered the necessary first aid to restore the 6-year-old child’s breathing to normal. Specialist Wilson’s prompt and heroic action in this emergency is in the highest traditions of the United States Army and reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
