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 First Class Denver Y. Heath (ASN: 6379604), United States Army, for heroism, not involving actual conflict with an enemy, displayed while serving with Company E, 8th Infantry Regiment, in saving a woman from drowning off Sullivan’s Island Beach, SC on 19 July 1936. While on the shore, Private Heath noticed that a woman was caught in the swift current and was being carried out to sea. With utter disregard of his own safety, Private Heath swam to her rescue and brought her safely to shore.
