Henry Breault's Medal of Honor - a photo on Flickriver

            The President of the United States
in the name of
The Congress
takes pleasure in presenting the
Medal of Honor
to 

Torpedoman Second Class (SS)G
Henry Breault

"for heroism and devotion to duty while serving on board 
the US 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, Petty Officer 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.  Petty Officer 
Breault and Chief Petty Officer Brown remained trapped in 
this compartment until rescued by the salvage party 31 hours 
later."
