About John C. Wetherby
The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to Private John C. Wetherby, United States Army, for most distinguished gallantry on 20 November 1899, while serving with Company L, 4th Infantry, in action at Imus, Luzon, Philippine Islands. While carrying important orders on the battlefield, Private Wetherby was desperately wounded and, being unable to walk, crawled far enough to deliver his orders.
