George William Rud George William Rud ( October 7 , 1883 – August 29 , 1916 ) was a United States Navy Chief Machinist ' s Mate received the Medal of Honor during the destruction of the USS Memphis ( CA - 10 ) formerly during a tsunami . Lieutenant Claud Ashton Jones and Machinist Charles H . Willey were also awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions on August 29 , 1916 . Medal of Honor citation . Rank and organization : Chief Machinist ' s Mate , U . S . Navy . Born : October 7 , 1883 , Minneapolis , Minn . Accredited to : Minnesota . ( August 1 , 1932 . ) Citation : For extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession while attached to the U . S . S . Memphis , at a time when that vessel was suffered total destruction from a hurricane while anchored off Santo Domingo City , 29 August 1916 . C . M . M . Rud took his station in the engine room and remained at his post amidst scalding steam and the rushing of thousands of tons of water into his department , receiving serious burns from which he immediately died . Update to Medal of Honor citation . While making steam to get underway from harbor in the Dominican Republic , the Memphis was struck broadside by numerous storm waves from an off shore hurricane . It is speculated that an submarine earthquake contributed to the size creating a tsunami , as the ship bounced off the bottom of the harbor several times . Finally , an enormous wave drove the ship into the rocks on the shore . The damage to its hull and engines was irreparable . CMM Rud helped secure the boilers as the keel of the ship was bent by the force of the waves , resulting in the propeller shaft seizing . Without the action by CMM Rud and Lt Claud Ashton Jones , the boilers may have exploded causing the total loss of the ship . Machinist Charles H . Willey who was in the engine room manning his station until ordered to leave , helped remove Rud and Ashton from the steam saturated atmosphere . MMC Rud was mortally injured by the steam , but didn ' t die immediately , he survived for several days after the incident .

Germanus ( general under Phocas ) Germanus ( ; died 604 ) was a Byzantine general who served under Emperor Phocas ( r . 602 – 610 ) in the early stages of the Byzantine - Sassanid War of 602 – 628 . Biography . Germanus is possibly the same as the " dux " of Phoenice , who was chosen by the army as its leader during the mutiny at Monocarton in Easter 588 , in place of Priscus . Although Germanus restored discipline and led the army to a victory against the Persians , he was tried and found guilty by a subsequent tribunal . Sentenced to death , he was quickly pardoned and received rewards from Emperor Maurice ( r . 582 – 602 ) . In 602 , shortly before the outbreak of the revolt against Emperor Maurice that brought Phocas to power , Germanus was placed in command of the strategically important fortress of Dara in Mesopotamia . In early 603 , he received Lilius , the envoy Phocas had sent to announce his accession to the Persian shah Khosrau II ( r . 590 – 628 ) . At this time , Germanus was reportedly attacked and wounded by one of his soldiers , but soon recovered . In late 603 , Narses , the Byzantine commander - in - chief of the eastern armies , rebelled against Phocas . He failed to secure the support of most of the army , and Germanus was ordered to besiege him at his base at Edessa . Narses , however , had sought and obtained the support of Khosrau II , who was eager to regain lost territory and avenge the murder of Emperor Maurice , who had helped him regain his throne in 591 . Khosrau therefore sent a Persian army into Mesopotamia . Germanus met the Persians in battle near the city of Constantina , but was defeated and heavily wounded , dying a few days after in Constantina .
