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 Cadet George Werner Albrecht, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of the United States Corps of Cadets, United States Military Academy, United States Army, on 19 August 1967, in the vicinity of Munich, Germany. While walking along the bank of the Isar River, Cadet Albrecht heard a cry for help. He looked into the river and saw a man struggling against the current and undertow created by a nearby spillway. With complete disregard for his own safety, Cadet Albrecht jumped fully clothed into the raging torrent of the Isar River, swam to the struggling man and pulled him safely to shore. By his heroism, Cadet Albrecht displayed outstanding personal courage, initiative, and stamina throughout his rescue efforts. Cadet Albrecht’s complete disregard for his own safety and his courageous actions reflect great credit upon himself, the United States military Academy, in the United States Army.
