James Harold Livingston

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to James Harold Livingston, Ensign, U.S. Navy (Reserve), for extraordinary heroism in operations against the enemy while serving as Pilot of a carrier-based Navy Plane, in action on 26 October 1944, while deployed over the Sulu Sea during the Battle for Leyte Gulf in the Philippine Islands. His outstanding courage and determined skill were at all times inspiring and in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
