Frank Burke (Medal of Honor)
Francis Xavier "Frank" Burke (September 29, 1918 – September 6, 1988) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.
==Biography==
Francis Xavier "Frank" Burke entered active duty in the U.S. Army from the New Jersey National Guard in Jersey City, New Jersey, and by April 17, 1945 was the Transportation Officer, as a first lieutenant, in D Company, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. On that day, in Nuremberg, Germany, he repeatedly engaged German forces alone during the fight to capture the city. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor nine months later, on January 9, 1946.
Burke reached the rank of Major before leaving the Army. He died at age 69 and was buried at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Arneytown, New Jersey.
The barracks complex housing 1st Battalion 15th Infantry on Kelley Hill, Fort Benning, is named "Burke Barracks" in honor of 1LT Burke. It consists of a Charge of Quarters soldier center (building 9140) and three main barracks buildings (9141, 9142, 9143) housing up to 96 soldiers per building, 288 soldiers in the entire complex.
