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 Jackie B. Dubberly, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy near Pusan, Korea, on 8 April 1955. When a soldier was overcome by gasoline vapor while removing the float and pump pipes in a stalled tractor-trailer, Private Dubberly immediately crawled through the 18-inch opening in the hatch and attempted to rescue him. Although the stricken man had lost coordination of his faculties and the power to reason, Private Dubberly remained in the tank and tried desperately to save his comrade until he, Dubberly fell unconscious from the poisonous fumes. Private Dubberly’s valorous conduct and intrepid actions reflect utmost credit on himself and are in keeping with the honored traditions of the military service.
