Stanley F. Roman

The Navy Cross is awarded to Chief Boatswain’s Mate Stanley F. Roman, U.S. Navy, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service as member of the crew of the U.S.S. McCall. On September 9, 1918, the Canadian Pacific ocean service passenger S.S. Missanabie was torpedoed twice by a German sub. Chief Boatswain’s Mate Roman, with other members of the crew, rescued the survivors of the Missanabie at imminent risk of life, and for this heroic duty should be considered as having performed “distinguished service in the line of duty.”
