"For heroism on 20 April 1947. While driving his car in the vicinity of Lulling, Texas, he saw an overturned and burning car on the road. Stopping his car, he ran to the wreck, climbed on top, and succeeded in extricating two injured passengers. While he was attending their injuries, the gas tank exploded. Colonel Fuller's quick thinking and prompt action, with entire disregard for his safety, undoubtedly prevented the death or serious injury of the passengers and reflect great credit on himself and the military service."
