Morgan (ASN: R-6509466), United States Army, for heroism, not involving actual conflict with an enemy, displayed while serving with 1st Signal Service Company, Signal Corps, displayed during the influenza epidemic at Point Barrow, Alaska, from 24 April 1935 to 7 May 1935. Although seriously ill with the influenza complicated with mild pneumonia, Sergeant Morgan, being the only operator of the radio station, remained at his post transmitting radio appeals for assistance for the natives. By his heroic services he was instrumental in preventing the spread of this epidemic and bringing quick relief to those already stricken, thereby saving many lives.
