| Description |
LC-DIG-HEC-44001: Torpedoman Second Class Henry Breault, USN, front right, is decorated with the Medal of Honor from President Calvin Coolidge, in ceremonies at the White House, Washington, D.C., on 8 March 1924. Breault was awarded the Medal of Honor for "heroism and devotion to duty" during the sinking of USS O-5 (SS-66) on 28 October 1923. Similar to LC-USZ62-131582. (7/10/2015). Medal of Honor citation of Torpedoman Second Class Henry Breault (as printed in the official publication "Medal of Honor, 1861-1949, The Navy", page 129): "For heroism and devotion to duty while serving on board the U.S. Submarine O-5 at the time of the sinking of that vessel. On the morning of 28 October 1923, the O-5 collided with the steamship Abangarez and sank in less than a minute. When the collision occurred, BREAULT was in the torpedo room. Upon reaching the hatch, he saw that the boat was rapidly sinking. Instead of jumping overboard to save his own life, he returned to the torpedo room to the rescue of a shipmate whom he knew was trapped in the boat, closing the torpedo-room hatch on himself. BREAULT and BROWN remained trapped in this compartment until rescued by the salvage party 31 hours later." |
