Hospital Apprentice William Zuiderveld served onboard the battleship U.S.S. Florida during the seizure of Vera Cruz, Mexico, on April, 21, 1914. Five volunteers were advancing between the customs house and a warehouse when one of them was shot in the head. Zuiderveld heard the call for help and immediately rushed up a narrow alley, exposing himself to enemy fire. Unaided and under heavy fire, he helped the seriously wounded man, bandaging his head to stop the bleeding.
