Staff Sergeant Henry E. Erwin Medal of Honor Recipient

Official photo of Staff Sergeant Henry E. Erwin. Erwin recalled that he wasn’t sure how he’d managed to hold onto the burning bomb. It was like “dipping my hand into liquid fire.” He was not expected to survive, so his Medal of Honor presentation took place just one week later.
