Dusenbury (ASN: 0-11672), United States Army, for heroism, not involving actual conflict with an enemy, displayed while serving with the 11th Infantry Regiment, in rescuing an enlisted man from drowning in Flatrock River near Columbus, Indiana, 25, May 1928. Going promptly to the rescue of an enlisted man who was drowning, Lieutenant Dusenbury entered the water fully dressed with heavy boots, and succeeded in bringing the soldier near shore when Lieutenant Dusenbury became exhausted. He was then relieved by two others, who brought the soldier to shore.
