The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to Torpedoman’s Mate First Class Emil Ade, United States Navy, for heroic conduct while serving aboard a United States Submarine during war patrols in enemy controlled waters during World War II. His technical knowledge and courage under extremely adverse conditions were of great assistance in sinking or damaging much enemy shipping during four extensive patrols on which he was in charge of the after torpedo room.
