The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to Motor Machinist’s Mate First Class George S. Moschetti, United States Coast Guard, for heroism as a crew member of a Coast Guard Cutter off the French Coast on 30 June 1944. Following the mining of an LCT, three casualties were taken from the stricken ship and fire broke out aboard the craft. Motor Machinist’s Mate First Class Moschetti volunteered to board the blazing ship and his efforts contributed substantially to the extinguishing of the fire and beaching of the craft.
