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 Dale W. Carroll, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of Company D, 53d Signal Battalion, near Hornbeck, Louisiana, on 23 November 1955. When Private Carroll discovered that the radio antenna of a _-ton truck had come in contact with a high voltage wire and that the two occupants were unconscious and subject to electrocution, he and another enlisted man, ran to the vehicle. Though sparks were flying from the foot of one of the occupants, Private Carroll disregarded his own safety and assisted in removing the victims. By use of his companion’s belt placed around the leg the of one of the victims they were able to get him clear. In attempting a similar procedure with the other victim Private Carroll’s companion was shocked and rendered unconscious. The prompt and courageous action of Private Carroll in the face of danger reflects great credit on himself and in keeping with the high traditions of the military service.
