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 Randall L. Zemany, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Gaithersburg, Maryland on 19 November 1969. On that date Specialist Zemany with no regard for his personal safety, entered a burning building and carried to safety an elderly woman who was trapped inside by the flames. He then re-entered the building to search for other occupants. Still ignoring the hazard to his own life, Specialist Zemany fought the fire with water from the house tap, to no avail. By his courageous action and humanitarian regard for his fellow man, in the dedication of his service to his country, Specialist Zemany has reflected great credit upon himself the United States Army.
