Medal of Honor Monday: William “Wild Bill” Donovan

During this week in 1918, a hero engages in an action that would earn him the Medal of Honor.  William “Wild Bill” Donovan had already earned the Distinguished Service Cross, and he would later earn the Distinguished Service Medal and the National Security Medal.

The awards make Donovan the only person to receive all four of our nation’s highest honors.

His Medal action came during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, one of the final Allied campaigns during World War I. The mission facing the Allies was difficult, to say the least. One major goal was to punch through the Kriemhilde Stellung, a “dense network of prepared killing grounds the Germans had created between the Meuse River and the Argonne Forest,” as historian Geoffrey Perret describes it.

Since its inception during the Civil War, 25 Medals of Honor have been awarded to U.S. Army soldiers of Native American descent. The first soldier of Sioux Nation heritage to receive America’s highest military honor was Master Sergeant Woodrow W. Keeble, a combat veteran of World War Two and the Korean War who earned the Medal of Honor for actions on 20 October 1951. During WWII, Keeble was attached to the 164th Infantry Regiment when it became the first Army unit sent to reinforce the Marine Corps’ defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, earning repute for his skill with a Browning Automatic Rifle. Keeble fought his way through the Pacific Theater’s island-hopping campaign along with the rest of the 164th and was discharged in 1946. Keeble’s retirement was short-lived however – in 1951, Keeble rejoined the fight as part of the 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division in Korea. As a platoon leader during Operation Nomad-Polar, the final major U.N. offensive of the war, Keeble distinguished himself during an assault against Chinese positions on Hill 765. As his platoon’s advance ground to a halt under withering fire on the steep hillside terrain, Keeble drove forward in a harrowing one-man attack. Although he was being showered with grenades and machine gun fire Keeble pressed forward, destroying three enemy machine gun nests and flooding enemy trenches with automatic fire. Buoyed by their sergeant’s valor, the men of Keeble’s platoon rallied to his aid, securing the hilltop and completing their mission. Keeble was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1952, upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2008. He also earned two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars, and four Purple Hearts across his Army career. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #WWII #KoreanWar #MOH #WorldWarTwo #WW2 #WW2History #Sioux #MedalOfHonor Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory #nativeamericanheritagemonth (at Spring Hill, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClL9DivuaZN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"But grief is not the end of all. I seem to hear the funeral march become a paean. I see beyond the forest the moving banners of a hidden column. Our dead brothers still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death--of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and joy of the spring..."

Medal of Honor Monday: Charles “Chuck” Hagemeister

During this week in 1946, a future Medal of Honor recipient is born. Charles “Chuck” Hagemeister was a Nebraska native who perhaps hadn’t intended to enter the Army in the first place. “In high school, Vietnam had just started,” he later recounted. “We were just barely getting involved. And there was talking about, you know, if you didn’t stay in school, you’d get drafted and you’d be in Vietnam before you knew it. So I graduated from high school and went on to the University of Nebraska. Decided I’d sit out a semester, earn some money to go back to college. And, while I was working, I got my draft notice.” He went, of course. “You serve. You don’t refuse it,” he concluded many decades later. By early 1967, Hagemeister was in Vietnam, serving as a combat medic. But something interesting happened along the way.  The story concludes here: https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-charles-hagemeister-moh
