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 Private Bob W. Buchanan (ASN: 6361237), United States Army, for heroism, not involving actual conflict with an enemy, displayed while serving with Detachment, Quartermaster Corps, saving a girl from drowning at Fort Moultrie, South Carolina, 9 May 1937. Upon noticing that a girl was caught in the swift current of the channel about 50 yards distant and was in grave danger of drowning, Private Buchanan, without hesitation, plunged into the water, swam to her rescue, and brought her safely to shore.
