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 Major (Field Artillery) Stephen A. Glick, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy Around midnight, 3 October 1968, Major Glick instantaneously responded to a cry for help from the wife of his next-door neighbor in Kansas City, Kansas. The second floor of her house was on fire, her husband and six-year-old son were still in the house. Major Glick unhesitatingly entered the house and attempted to make his way up the stairs to locate the man and boy. Although at first repulsed by the intense smoke and heat, Major Glick succeeded in his second endeavor. He crawled upon the second floor hallway until he located the unconscious boy and the man. Major Glick picked up the boy; instructed the man, who was semi-conscious, to follow him; and crawled back down the stairs to safety. He then carried the boy outdoors and applied mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until the boy regained consciousness. By complete disregard for his personal safety and his prompt and repeated subjection to danger, Major Glick save the man and boy from imminent death. Major Glick’s courageous perseverance and selfless actions reflect great credit upon himself the United States Army.
