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 Tommy R. Greenway, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Prince’s Valley near Mekele, Ethiopia, on 7 April 1971. On that date, while on a hunting trip, Specialist Greenway displayed complete disregard for his personal safety by rescuing four persons from a gasoline fed fire in a grass hut. When he was unable to extinguish the fire, Specialist Greenway dashed into the burning hut to rescue the occupants. Specialist Greenway carried three children safely from the blazing hut and re-entered the hut a second time to rescue a woman. Only the quick thinking an immediate reaction of Specialist Greenway prevented what could have been serious injuries, and possibly death, to the occupants of the blazing hut. This action not only demonstrated the outstanding character of Specialist Greenway but also greatly enhanced the image of the United States in the eyes of the local population. His courageous action and his humanitarian regard for his fellow man reflect great credit on him, the United States Army and the American people. [This award supersedes the Army Commendation Medal awarded to Specialist Greenway for meritorious achievement on 7 April 1971 as announced in Headquarters, United States Army Security Agency General order number 136, 1971.]
