Joseph J. Sadowski
Joseph John Sadowski (December 8, 1917 – September 14, 1944) was a United States Army sergeant and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration for valor—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in France during World War II.
==Biography==
Sadowski joined the Army from his birth city of Perth Amboy, New Jersey in May 1941,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by September 14, 1944 was serving as a Sergeant in Company A, 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division. On that day, in Valhey, France, Sadowski's tank was disabled by enemy fire. He and his crew dismounted the vehicle, except for one man who was trapped inside the burning tank. Despite intense enemy fire, Sadowski returned to the tank and attempted to rescue the crewman, but was killed before he could do so. For his actions, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor seven months later, on April 23, 1945.
Sadowski, aged 26 at his death, was buried in Saint Stephens Cemetery, Keasbey, New Jersey. The Sadowski Field House at Fort Knox is named in his honor. A monument to Sadowski was erected on the Parkway bearing his name in Perth Amboy by the Society of Polish Combatants (Stowarzyszenie Polskich Kombatantow), Post 40. In 1999, the citizens of Valhey, France, also erected a monument honoring Sgt. Sadowski. In September, 2009, ceremonies were held at the monument recognizing 65 years since Sgt. Sadowski's death. Colonel James (Jimmie) Leach who knew Sadowski personally and was the commander of Company B, 37th Tank Battalion at the time of Sgt. Sadowski's death, made the remarks about Sadowski.〔The Late Col.
