Medal of Honor - Sgt. 1st Class William S. Sitman
2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division
June 21, 2018 | 0:30
Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. 1st. Class William S. Sitman-

Sgt. 1st Class William S. Sitman, native of Bellwood, Pa., assigned to M Company, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, was posthumously awarded the congressional Medal of Honor for his valiant actions on Febuary 14, 1951 during the Korean War.

His citation in part reads "In the ensuing action, the enemy lobbed a grenade into the position and Sgt. 1st Class Sitman, fully aware of the odds against him, selflessly threw himself on it, absorbing the full force of the explosion with his body. Although mortally wounded in this fearless display of valor, his intrepid act saved five men from death or serious injury, and enabled them to continue inflicting withering fire on the ruthless foe throughout the attack."

Col.(R) William M. Alexander, 2nd Infantry Division ROK-U.S. Museum director narrates the recognition of the #Second2None Warrior.
The #2IDRUCD has a total of 40 Medal of Honor recipients.
