I found a book at my local library last year that listed all the MOH winners of WWII and short stories about them with a photo.
I think it was called "Heros of WWII".

A couple years ago I saw an auction on ebay for the names and addresses of over 300 War Heroes, including many MOH winners. I instinctively bid on it and won. Long before it ever arrived I began to ask myself why the hell did I do this??? Still don't have a good reason, but I only used this list one time, and that was to express my gratitude to one of the men who destroyed the guns of Point Du Hoc on D-Day, then-sergeant Leonard Lomell, of the 2nd Ranger Btln. Since that one time I am glad to say that I've never used the list again or showed it to anyone else. BTW Brooke...all this has absoloutely nothing to do with your original post, other than to remind me of one of my impulsive acts 
From that point on I decided to read about these guys like you are doing instead of bugging them at home, just to satisfy my curiosity. 
Hello Brooke,
No, I was not aware of that (Point Du Hoc Vet here) but that is wonderful news! The WWII veterans on Marion's site make it the best of it's kind in my book . I actually received 2 letters from Mr. Lomell, one of which I have framed, and it is displayed proudly in my tiny "WWII Room." BTW...I met with my cousin Dan last night, who's Dad (my Uncle Rusty) was a tank sergeant in the 691rst Tank Destroyer Battalion. I am sending you a pic of Rusty and crew on the tank (in Germany).
Take Care,
Jim
ps- Rusty (Sgt. Wells) is the one directly beneath the barrel, in helmet.
Looks like some proud tankers there!
Jim: Tried to clean the photo up a bit. See whatcha think.
Dogdaddy: Damn it, that pic you posted was so typical of the dirty, smellly, hungry,
tired typical combat soldier. Were we EVER that young. I will bet the farm that that pic was taken with a "liberated" camera that still had some film in it, then the camera thrown away and the film kept till a time came to get it developed. This seemed to be a S.O.P. back then. That pic reminds me so much of one of the few taken of me/us during ww2. Enclosing photo of some smelly, dirty G.I.s taken in Germany. Me on the left.
Even the expressions of the faces are similar.
Keep 'em coming...You dogfaces all look alike to me 
I'll bet you have one similar to this one too... Notice the "racoon eyes" on Rusty (far right) from wearing tanker's goggles. That ain't Rootbeer in those jugs either...
Sgt. Wells dogtags,stripes and the bronze star he won in 1944. During a heavy enemy shelling Rusty left the comparative safety of his own foxhole to assist one of his men who was wounded before he reached his foxhole. This involved crawling 100 yds. under artillary and mortar fire to reach the wounded soldier, who he covered with his own body, protecting the man from shrapnel. After the wounded man regained his strength Rusty assisted him back to safety. Rusty stood tall at 5'5", and was loved by all that knew him. He passed away on March 3,2006 at the age of 88.
