Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Second Lieutenant Charles B. Tanner (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on September 17, 1862, at Antietam, Maryland. His citation reads:

Carried off the regimental colors, which had fallen within 20 yards of the enemy's lines, the color guard of 9 men having all been killed or wounded; was himself 3 times wounded.

Technical Sergeant Ted T. Tanouye (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on July 7, 1944, near Molino A Ventoabbto, Italy. His citation reads:

Technical Sergeant Ted T. Tanouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 7 July 1944, near Molino A Ventoabbto, Italy. Technical Sergeant Tanouye led his platoon in an attack to capture the crest of a strategically important hill that afforded little cover. Observing an enemy machine gun crew placing its gun in position to his left front, Technical Sergeant Tanouye crept forward a few yards and opened fire on the position, killing or wounding three and causing two others to disperse. Immediately, an enemy machine pistol opened fire on him. He returned the fire and killed or wounded three more enemy soldiers. While advancing forward, Technical Sergeant Tanouye was subjected to grenade bursts, which severely wounded his left arm. Sighting an enemy-held trench, he raked the position with fire from his submachine gun and wounded several of the enemy. Running out of ammunition, he crawled 20 yards to obtain several clips from a comrade on his left flank. Next, sighting an enemy machine pistol that had pinned down his men, Technical Sergeant Tanouye crawled forward a few yards and threw a hand grenade into the position, silencing the pistol. He then located another enemy machine gun firing down the slope of the hill, opened fire on it, and silenced that position. Drawing fire from a machine pistol nest located above him, he opened fire on it and wounded three of its occupants. Finally taking his objective, Technical Sergeant Tanouye organized a defensive position on the reverse slope of the hill before accepting first aid treatment and evacuation. Technical Sergeant Tanouye's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.

First Lieutenant Anthony Taylor (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on September 20, 1863, at Chickamauga, Georgia. His citation reads:

Held out to the last with a small force against the advance of superior numbers of the enemy.

I just wanted to wish Mom and Dad a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We hope they have a GREAT day!!!! It sure would be great if my good for nothing brother and sister would donate to my Walk to End Alzheimer’s (see above link) in honor of their anniversary (and/or in honor of fall practice for college football starting… or in honor of the last days of summer break… it doesn’t matter to me, it would just be nice to have a little support… know what I mean?).
