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 Dennis Fabry, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy on 3 March 1971 in Kornwestheim, Germany. On that date with complete disregard for his own life and safety, Specialist Fabry took decisive action in attempting to save life of a fellow soldier who was laying communication wire which became entangled in a high-voltage wire, electrocuting him while still in his vehicle. Arriving at the scene shortly after the mishap, Specialist Fabry acted immediately and attached a rope to a forklift and pulled the vehicle from the high-voltage line in order to treat the victim. He cleared the victim’s airway and started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the unconscious soldier until medical personnel arrived. Specialist Fabry then began closed chest cardiac massage on the man, aided in setting up an oxygen respirator, and moving the badly burned patient to the ambulance. Specialist Fabry’s tenacious and aggressive efforts contributed greatly in attempting to save the life of another. By his courageous action and humanitarian regard for his fellow man and dedication to service to his country, Specialists Fourth Class Fabry has reflected great credit on himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
