A native of France, Lejeune joined the U.S. Navy from New York. By June 6, 1876, he was serving as a seaman on {{USS|Plymouth|1867|6}} commanded by Captain Edward Barrett. On that day, he and other crewmen took Plymouths steam-powered launch to shore at Port Royal, South Carolina. While there, Lejeune rescued a civilian who had fallen off the Port Royal wharf. For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, proposed by Edward Barrett three days later, on June 9.[4] Lejeune's official Medal of Honor citation reads: Serving on board the U.S.S. Plymouth, Lejeune displayed gallant conduct in rescuing a citizen from drowning at Port Royal, S.C., 6 June 1876. See also{{Portal|Biography|United States Navy}}
