He earned the Medal of Honor by holding off an entire German company and leading a counterattack while wounded and low on ammunition. After the war he became an actor, but died in 1971 during a small plane crash.

A chestful of medals alright!
Did not know he died in a plane crash. Ironic.
Wow, all those medals!
I know this actor well from reading about him. he is a true hero but he suffered from severe PTSD or battle fatigue as it was called back then. He became an alcoholic and had many troubles....I felt so bad for him
I remember watching him in movies. He had a sorrowful look to him, I recall. They made a movie, starring him, about that war event. That must've been hard for him, reliving it again over and over as they filmed him.
It's sad to think of all he survived in WW II and then know he died in a small plane accident ~ and so young. I remember him from his film career.
