Carl V. Sheridan
Carl Vernon Sheridan (January 5, 1925 – November 26, 1944) 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==
Sheridan joined the Army from his birth city of Baltimore, Maryland in May 1943,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by November 26, 1944 was serving as a private first class in Company K, 47th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. On that day, at the Frenzenberg Castle in Weisweiler, Germany, Sheridan exposed himself to intense fire in order to blast a hole through the doors of the enemy-held castle with his bazooka. He successfully created a gap in the doors, but was killed after charging through it. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor six months later, on May 30, 1945.
Sheridan, aged 19 at his death, was buried in Druid Ridge Cemetery, Pikesville, Maryland.
