Glenn A. Fryman

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Glenn A. Fryman, Motor Machinist’s Mate Second Class, U.S. Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving on board the U.S.S. PEARY (DD-226) in the Pacific War Area on 28 December 1941. When a fragment of a bomb miss penetrated a 4-inch powder cartridge and set it afire, Motor Machinist’s Mate Second Class Fryman un-strapped the cartridge from its stowage and threw it overboard.
