Alexander Ramsey Nininger Jr, WP Class of 1941, Posthumous Medal of Honor.
This 7-page document came from the son of Fred Yeager, WP class of 1940-, who was on the Oryoku Maru and ended up at Zentsuji POW camp.
I put it into my webpage and it is available as a pdf file with this URL (7 pages)

Hi Karl, I have this for Lt Nininger and it also includes the other two MOH recipients mentioned in your blog. I got this from the son of Fred Yeager, WP class of 1940-, who was on the Oryoku Maru and ended up at Zentsuji POW camp. Feel free to add it to his information if it is of help.
Regards, John
