На первый крест 1942 года
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Draper Laurence Kauffman (NSN: 0-117673/110), United States Naval Reserve, for exceptional courage, presence of mind, and devotion to duty and disregard for his personal safety during the Japanese attack on the United States Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, 7 December 1941. Lieutenant Kauffman unloaded and examined a live 500-pound Japanese bomb lying on the grounds of Fort Schofield, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. His courage, confidence and exceptional skill made possible the recovery of all parts of this Japanese bomb for study by the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy Department. The conduct of Lieutenant Kauffman throughout this action reflects great credit upon himself, and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting a Gold Star in lieu of a Second Award of the Navy Cross to Commander [then Lieutenant Commander] Draper Laurence Kauffman (NSN: 0-117673/110), United States Naval Reserve, for extraordinary heroism and distinguished service in the line of his profession as Commanding Officer of Underwater Demolition Team FIVE (UDT-5), during operations against enemy Japanese forces in the Marianas Islands, on 14 June 1944. During the investigation of the reefs and beaches off Charan-Kanoa, Saipan Island, Marianas Group, Commander Kauffman was in charge of the Underwater Demolitions Teams. While disembarking from landing craft and approaching the outer reef in rubber boats the Underwater Demolitions Teams came under very heavy mortar fire which had been sighted on the outer reef. In the face of this fire Commander Kauffman and his teams, swimming, carrying explosives on their backs, advanced one thousand yards meeting heavy machine gun and rifle fire and enduring many casualties. When the mission had been accomplished, he retired with his wounded to deliver valuable information to the Task Force Commander which contributed greatly to the success of the landing operation. He then learned that two of his men were missing. In spite of the heavy enemy machine gun and mortar barrage, Commander Kauffman unhesitatingly returned to the reef. By his courage and determination with complete disregard of his own safety, he personally rescued the two stranded men. By his cool courage, superb professional skill and devotion to duty throughout, Commander Kauffman contributed materially to the success of our assault landings on this strategic area and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Представление к кресту
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to William Harold Keighley, Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy (Reserve), for extraordinary heroism in operations against the enemy while serving as Pilot of a carrier-based Navy Combat Plane in Composite Squadron THREE (VC-3), embarked from the U.S.S. KALININ BAY (CVE-68), and deployed over Samar in action against enemy Japanese forces during the Battle for Leyte Gulf in the Philippine Islands on 25 October 1944. When his task force was in imminent danger of being destroyed by heavy gunfire from an overwhelming force of hostile warships, Lieutenant Commander Keighley piloted one of the first planes launched, immediately maneuvering to attack the leading heavy cruiser. In bold defiance of the enemy's devastating antiaircraft fire, he scored three direct hits. Promptly joining a group of fighting planes when his bomb load was expended, Lieutenant Commander Keighley fought gallantly in the face of terrific opposition, making four determined strafing runs which resulted in considerable damage to the cruiser and effectively diverted hostile fire from our bombers and Torpedo Planes. Lieutenant Commander Keighley's outstanding courage, daring airmanship and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
