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 Huey Carr, United States Army, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy as a member of Headquarters Battery, 465th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Missile Battalion (NIKE), at Toronto, Canada, on 5 August 1956. While a passenger on a Canadian steamship preparing to dock in Toronto Harbor, he saw two passengers fall overboard. Without hesitation and without regard to the great personal danger to himself, Private Carr jumped into the water to aid the victims. It was completely dark at the time and the water was murky, treacherous and unfamiliar. The ship had just reversed its propellers thus creating a terrific undertow. Despite these conditions, Private Carr, aided by a comrade, was able to reach one of the stricken passengers who was unable to swim. After pulling the victim to safety, Private Carr, again entered the water and continued to search for the other victim until further search became useless. The heroism and ability to act in an emergency as displayed by Private Carr reflect great credit on himself and are in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service.
