Anthony L. Krotiak (August 15, 1915 – May 8, 1945) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II. ==Biography== Krotiak joined the Army from his birth city of Chicago, Illinois in November 1941,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by May 8, 1945 was serving as a private first class in Company I, 148th Infantry Regiment, 37th Infantry Division. On that day, in the Balete Pass, Luzon, the Philippines, he smothered the blast of a Japanese-thrown grenade with his body, sacrificing himself to protect those around him. For these actions, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor the next year, on February 13, 1946. Krotiak, aged 29 at his death, was buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Alsip, Illinois.
