The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to Radarman Second Class Leroy Burnes (NSN: 5581877), United States Navy, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Upon hearing the shout “Man Overboard,” Radarman Burnes ran to the scene, jumped into the cold water, and dove for the stricken shipmate. Radarman Burnes finally sighted him at extreme depth beneath the ship, reached and pulled him outward and upward to the surface, thus saving the man’s life.
