Ok , my Captain !!

 

Harold C. Agerholm was born on January 29th 1925. He died in military action on July 7th 1944. He was killed by a military conflict. He was 19 years, 5 months and 8 days old when he died.

Dang! I just can't stump you! Yes, he is the only Marine in 10th Marines (of which I had been a part) history that is a Medal of Honor recipient. The area by the 10th Marines CP where the old artillery static displays are kept is named in his honor.

 

Citation:

 

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the 4th Battalion, 10th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Saipan, Marianas Islands, July 7, 1944. When the enemy launched a fierce, determined counterattack against our positions and overran a neighboring artillery battalion, PFC Agerholm immediately volunteered to assist in the efforts to check the hostile attack and evacuate our wounded. Locating and appropriating an abandoned ambulance jeep, he repeatedly made extremely perilous trips under heavy rifle and mortar fire and single-handedly loaded and evacuated approximately forty-five casualties, working tirelessly and with utter disregard for his own safety during a grueling period of more than three hours. Despite intense, persistent enemy fire, he ran out to aid two men whom he believed to be wounded Marines but was himself mortally wounded by a Japanese sniper while carrying out his hazardous mission. PFC Agerholm's brilliant initiative, great personal valor and self-sacrificing efforts in the face of almost certain death reflect the highest credit upon himself and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Maj Todd O. USMC, Retired
Grandson of LTC John O'Brien
