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 Private Glenn E. Jennings (ASN: 37264527), United States Army, for heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy of the United States while serving with Company C, 117th Engineer Combat Battalion, 37th Infantry Division, in action at New Georgia on 15 September 1943. When an enemy bomb struck a wrecker truck causing the acetylene tank to burst into flames, Private Jennings successfully extinguished the fire at great personal jeopardy. The exemplary courage and heroism displayed by Private Jennings reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.
