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 Cadet Robert G. Losey, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 28 July 1971. On that date John A. King, the driver of a car containing his wife, mistakenly put his car into gear instead of reverse, causing the vehicle to shoot forward and plunge off a dock and into the lake. Disregarding his personal safety, Cadet Losey, with his split second response, was the first to respond to the emergency. He dove into the lake and removed the two people from the car while other swimmers assisted by opening the car doors. Cadet Losey’s quick and decisive action saved the elder couple from drowning. Upon the couple’s release, the car settled to the bottom, of the lake in approximately eight feet of water. By his courageous action, humanitarian regard for his fellow man, and dedication of service to his country, Cadet Losey has reflected great credit on himself and the United States Army.
