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 Captain (Armor) Glenn P. Carr, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy while serving as a member of the 57th Aviation Company, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, on 24 August 1965, near the landing strip number 15 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Captain Carr was acting as aviation safety officer for a practice aviation flight demonstration when a participating U6A, Beaver, utility aircraft crashed and burst into flames, trapping the two pilots within the wreckage. Captain Carr immediately rushed one hundred and fifty yards to the scene of the accident to aid the trapped aviators. Then, with complete disregard for his own safety and ignoring the imminent danger of a gasoline explosion and possible smoke asphyxiation, he attempted courageously three times to enter the burning wreckage with a hand extinguisher and to aid the motionless aviators. Although he sustained burns on his right hand, smoke inhalation, and heat exhaustion, he continued his brave efforts until fellow officers arrived on the scene later and escorted him to safety despite his reluctance to leave the flaming wreckage. Captain Carr’s heroic conduct, prompt actions, and deep concern for others are in the highest traditions of the United States Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
