==Navy Cross Citation==
:''The Navy Cross is presented to Merton A,. Richal (), First Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism, coolness, and excellent judgment in the performance of duty in command of a Marine patrol in an engagement at Las Cruces, Nicaragua, on 1 January 1928. When attacked on this occasion by a vastly superior force, Lieutenant Richal rushed to the advance guard position through a devastating fire, and although shot through the eye in the early stages of the fighting made a heroic effort to direct the fire and action of his command until forcefully taken to the rear where he collapsed.''〔http://www.homeofheroes.com/members/02_NX/citations/02_interim-nc/nc_04interim_2nicaragua.html〕
