fellow soldier, Pfc. Robert M. Nie

Private Nieboer was one of four
enlisted men riding in a truck
when a bridge, over which the
vehicle was moving, collapsed.
The truck crashed into the stream
below.
Two men escaped uninjured
but another man, a'tempting to1
escape from the cab, found his
leg pinned in the door by the forc^
of the stream and it was impossi
ble for him to extricate himself.
Seeing the cab rapidly sinking,
Priva'e Nieboer, although he had
sustained an injury to his ankle,
dove into the stream and went
to the man’s assistance.

approximately seven feet deep
and the current very rapid, but
he swam underneath into the cab
and made two a'tempts to effect
a rescue.

bracing his uninjured leg against
one side of the cab and pushing
his am against the door, he suc
ceeded in freeing the other sol
dier from his precarious position,”
said the citation.
“His quick action was instru
^mental in saving a fellow sol
dier’s life, and the courage and
initiative displayed reflect great
credit upon himself and the mil-:
