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 Captain Susan Galvin, United States Air Force, for heroism above and beyond the call of duty on 11 September 2001, after a hijacked airline flight, with over 30,000 pounds of jet fuel was used by international terrorists as a weapon to attack the Pentagon. Upon impact there was a thunderous explosion and horrific fire that left numerous military and civilian personnel severely injured and others in shock. Without regard for her own life, Captain Galvin went to the rescue of the injured and dying personnel to render medical care and evacuate them to safety. Despite the continuous danger to herself of smoke, fire, and the building collapsing, she continued to risk her life on numerous occasions to rescue those needing medical attention. Captain Galvin’s unyielding devotion to her fellow soldiers and civilians undoubtedly saved lives and showed America’s resolve to overcome this action of international terrorism. Captain Galvin’s heroic actions are a testament of her bravery and reflect great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Air Force.
