Forrest Eugene Everhart, Sr., (August 28, 1922 – August 30, 1986) 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== Everhart joined the Army from Texas City, Texas in 1940, and by November 12, 1944 was serving as a technical sergeant in Company H, 359th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. On that day, near Kerling, France, he led his platoon in a defense against a counterattack by a numerically superior German force. When German soldiers threatened to overrun his platoon's machine gun positions, he twice engaged them alone and drove them away. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor ten months later, on September 10, 1945. Everhart left the Army while still a technical sergeant. He died at age 64 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington County, Virginia.
