Soldier earns sergeant stripes after bench assault
On May 26 1943 a corporal overrode fear and led a daring climb on a Jap held plateau called the Bench. He shot from fox holes and battered enemies with his rifle butt, earning a promotion when asked what he wanted. He did not attend your party but was too busy fighting.
