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 (Medical Corps) Ralph M. Wymer, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of Medical Company, 112th Infantry Regiment, at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. On 23 October 1950, a civilian lineman working on a power line touched a live wire and suffered severe shock. Seeing the man suspended by his safety belt, with clothing on fire, Captain Wymer, without hesitation, climbed the ladder, put out the fire, and attempted to cut the live wire. When the power was finally turned off and the victim lowered to the ground, he administered first-aid treatment. Captain Wymer’s courageous act reflects great credit on himself and the military service.
