The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal (Posthumously) to Boatswain’s Mate Second Class Carver Glenn Sanders (CGSN: 530634), United States Coast Guard, for heroic conduct while serving aboard the U.S.S. MENGES On 20 April 1944, in the Mediterranean Sea. When a destroyer escort was sunk by enemy bombing planes the MENGES went to the rescue. Boatswain’s Mate Second Class Sanders, while the ship was picking up survivors, voluntarily and at great personal risk went over the side into the oil covered water in order to more effectively aid the wounded and shocked survivors, who would otherwise have been unable to save themselves. Later when the MENGES was torpedoed in action with the enemy submarine he was killed by the explosion while manning his battle station.
