The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant (MC) Clark G. Grazier (NSN: 0-70598), United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of his profession as Medical Officer of the U.S.S.PANAY (PR-5), during the bombing and loss when that vessel was attacked by Japanese airplanes during patrol in the Yangtze River, China, on 12 December 1937. Lieutenant Grazier displayed great calmness, ability and resourcefulness both while under fire aboard ships and also under very difficult conditions with limited medical equipment while caring for the wounded ashore. His untiring efforts and professional skill contributed immeasurably in reducing the seriousness of the injuries sustained and in so doing undoubtedly prevented additional fatalities. His performance of duty on this occasion was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
