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 Fifth Class James E. Wesolowski, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy on the morning of 30 March 1968 when he, without regard for his personal safety, rendered assistance to two motor vehicle accident victims; personally saving the life of one. While returning from Killeen Base, Texas at approximately 0120 hours, 30 March 1968, on Farm and Market Road 439, Specialist Wesolowski happened upon the scene of an accident. Noting that one of the accident victims, the only one he noticed initially, had stopped breathing, Specialist Wesolowski immediately rendered first aid, checked for serious cuts, and administered artificial respiration. After 20 minutes, this accident victim was breathing normally and had a strong pulse. Upon being advised that the driver of the car was pinned under the vehicle Specialist Wesolowski directed that onlookers jack up the rear of the car. When he was unable to extricate the second victim, he crawled under the car and started administering artificial respiration. During the 30 minutes he attempted to revive the second victim, the car toppled off the jack twice, pinning him alongside the victim. With total disregard of his personal safety, he continued his attempt to revive the man until such time as the man was officially pronounced dead by a Justice of the Piece. Specialist Wesolowski was commended by civilian authorities for his prompt action in saving one man’s life and for his attempts to save the second man. By his unhesitating, unselfish act, and complete disregard for his personal safety, Specialist Wesolowski has brought great credit upon himself and United States Army.
