Military heroes in World War II cited for valor

Atkins Owens Smith McWhorter are named for acts of conspicuous gallantry from 1943 to 1944. Atkins repelled an early dawn assault on Bougainville with two riflemen and continued fighting after being wounded. Owens silenced a 75mm gun that threatened Navy units during Bougainville landing. Smith held a doomed defense near Lanuvio, Italy, dragging wounded comrades and fighting 80 Germans until killed. McWhorter sacrificed himself at Leyte to shield a fellow soldier by detonating a fuse charge.
