The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Soldier’s Medal to Technical Sergeant Goro Tsuchida (ASN: 36316292), United States Army, for heroism not involving actual conflict while serving with Company M, 3d Battalion, 442d Regimental Combat Team, on 2 August 1944, in Italy. When Technical Sergeant Tsuchida heard an explosion at the close of a mine demonstration, he ran to the spot and helped a comrade drag a victim from a blazing truck and administered first aid. Upon hearing a call for help, he ran 100 yards to another victim and applied a tourniquet on the wounded man’s arm. When the medical aid men arrived, he quickly formed a guard around the area to keep others away from the danger of other explosions. Technical Sergeant Tsuchida’s courage and resourcefulness are exemplary and a credit to the Armed Forces of the United States.
