The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Pharmacist’s Mate Second Class Oliver L. Young (NSN: 0-122210), United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism, devotion to duty, and disregard for his own personal safety on 13 May 1928, near Pena Blanca, Nicaragua, when his commanding officer, the late Captain Robert S. Hunter, USMC, was seriously wounded in an engagement with an organized bandit group. Pharmacist’s Mate Young went through bandit fire to the aid of the late Captain Hunter, dressed his wounds, while still exposed to fire, and carried him to safety. Pharmacist’s Mate Second Class Young’s actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
