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 Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Clover B. Street, Jr., United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy on 4 April 1956 at Fort Carson, Colorado. Lieutenant Street, a Platoon leader of Company B, 13th Infantry Regiment, while in the bay of the live hand grenade range saw a basic trainee throw a fragmentation grenade which hit the top of the bay, then fell back landing between the wall of the bay and the trainee. Lieutenant Street seized the trainee and dragged him a short distance to a fold in the ground where he pushed the man face forward and fell upon him just as the grenade exploded. The quick thinking and disregard for his own personal safety which Lieutenant Street demonstrated reflects great credit on himself and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.
