John F. Thorson

John F. Thorson (May 10, 1920 – October 28, 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==
Thorson was the seventh of eight children born to Norwegian immigrants. He joined the Army from his birth city of Armstrong, Iowa in 1942,〔(Service Profile )〕 and by October 28, 1944 was serving as a private first class in Company G, 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. On that day, in Dagami, Leyte province, in the Philippines, Thorson was wounded while single-handedly attacking an enemy trench, then smothered the blast of an enemy-thrown hand grenade with his body. He successfully protected his fellow soldiers from the blast, and was immediately killed. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor nine months later, on July 19, 1945.
Thorson, aged 24 at his death, was buried in Keokuk National Cemetery, Keokuk, Iowa.
