Most decorated soldier in the European theater, if not all of WWII
Battlefield commission
MOH for firing a ma-deuce atop a burning tank as cover fire to get his soldiers to safety
Starred in his own bio-pic, "To Hell and Back" along with a few other movies.
Hasbro came out with a commemorative 12" GI Joe with his likeness as part of their MOH series
That's all I know w/o googling
