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 Frank McGoldrick, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Fayetteville North Carolina on 10 May 1970. On that date Specialist McGoldrick was asleep in his trailer when the trailer across the street caught fire. Quick thinking, bravery and determination enabled Specialist McGoldrick to bodily smash and enter through the back door of the trailer after an attempt to enter through the flame engulfed front door had proven futile. After entering the smoke and flame filled trailer, Specialist McGoldrick assisted in removing a semi-conscious occupant, receiving burns himself from the intense heat. Having removed the man to a safe distance Specialist McGoldrick returned to the burning trailer to move a car to safety. The occupant would have lost his life had it not been for Specialist McGoldrick’s unequivocal concern for his fellow man. By his courageous action and humanitarian regard for his fellow man, in the dedication of his service to his country, Specialist McGoldrick has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
