He received the award from President Harry S. Truman at the White House on January 23, 1946 for his actions as a lieutenant junior grade aboard the Naval aircraft carrier USS Franklin in the Seto Inland Sea near Kobe, Japan on March 19, 1945. He enlisted in the US Navy in December 1919 and served continuously in the enlisted ranks until November 1943, when he received a commission as a lieutenant, junior grade. He was then assigned to the Third Naval District and as an inspector of machinery at the Babcock and Wilcox and in December 1944, he was assigned to the Navy aircraft carrier USS Franklin as an engineering officer. On March 19, 1945 the USS Franklin was severely damaged by a Japanese air attack when he discovered there were 300 men trapped in a blackened mess compartment and, finding an exit, he kept returning to lead groups out of harm's way. He later organized and led firefighting parties to battle the inferno on the hangar deck and entered number three fireroom to raise steam in one of the boilers, braving extreme hazards in so doing. Following the war, he remained with the USS Franklin until it was decommissioned in 1947. He then took a post with the Naval Disciplinary Barracks at Terminal Island, California, where he served until his retirement at the rank of commander in June 1950. In 1983 the guided missile frigate USS Gary was named in honor.
