Revision as of 12:38, 25 June 2022
This is a list of personnel who received the Navy Cross for events after the Vietnam War.
The Navy Cross is the second-highest military decoration of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. It is received by personnel who distinguish themselves for extraordinary heroism in combat with an armed enemy force.[1] The medal is equivalent to the Army's Distinguished Service Cross, the Air Force and Space Force's Air Force Cross, and the Coast Guard Cross.
The Navy Cross is bestowed by the Secretary of the Navy and may also be awarded to members of other armed services, and to foreign military personnel while serving with the U.S. naval services. The Navy Cross was established by Act of Congress (Public Law 65-253) and approved on February 4, 1919.
Operation Just Cause recipients
The United States Invasion of Panama, more commonly referred to as Operation Just Cause, was the invasion of Panama by the United States in December 1989. It occurred during the administration of U.S. President George H. W. Bush, and ten years after the Torrijos–Carter Treaties were ratified to transfer control of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama by 1 January 2000.
During the invasion, the de facto Panamanian leader, general and dictator Manuel Noriega was deposed and was replaced by president-elect Guillermo Endara. In addition, the Panamanian Defense Force was dissolved.
During this action two people from Seal team 4 received the Navy Cross for their actions during the conflict.

---|---|---|---|---|
Thomas W. Casey | Lieutenant (junior grade) | Golf Platoon, Seal team 4 | December 19, 1989 - December 21, 1989 | Operation Just cause[2] |
Donald L. McFaul† | Chief Engineman | Golf Platoon, Seal team 4 | December 20, 1989 | Operation Just cause[3] |
Operation Urgent Fury recipient
The United States invasion of Grenada, also known as Operation Urgent Fury, began at dawn on 25 October 1983. The United States and a coalition of six Caribbean nations invaded the island nation of Grenada, 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela. It resulted in military occupation within a few days.[4] It was triggered by the strife within the People's Revolutionary Government which resulted in the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada Maurice Bishop, and the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council with Hudson Austin as Chairman. The invasion resulted in the appointment of an interim government, followed by elections in 1984.
The Reagan administration launched the military intervention operation following receipt of a formal appeal for help from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. In addition, the Governor-General of Grenada Paul Scoon secretly signaled he would also support outside intervention, but he put off signing a letter of invitation until 26 October.[5] Reagan also acted due to "concerns over the 600 U.S. medical students on the island" and fears of a repeat of the Iran hostage crisis.
During this action one Marine Captain with HMM-261, 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit named Jeb H. Seagle posthumously received the Navy Cross (United States).
