The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the highest award given for non combat related bravery. I have been unable to find specific documentation of Paul W. Bryant receiving it. Records for WW2 can be incomplete or difficult to find, though. The historical source I have cited earlier seems consistent with what was stated in this thread. I did find a Paul M. Bryant who received it in WW2 for a different event.
ETA: Added link to Wikipedia on Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
