Furman L. Smith (May 11, 1925 – June 1, 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== Smith joined the Army from Central, South Carolina in July 1943,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by May 31, 1944 was serving as a private in the 135th Infantry Regiment, 34th Infantry Division. During a battle on that day, near Lanuvio, Italy, his group came under intense German attack and began to withdraw. Smith voluntarily stayed behind with the wounded and protected them until he was overrun and killed. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor eight months later, on January 24, 1945. Smith, aged 19 at his death, was buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Central, South Carolina.
