Lester R. Stone, Jr.
Lester Ray Stone, Jr. (June 4, 1947 – March 3, 1969) 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 the Vietnam War.
==Biography==
Stone joined the Army from Syracuse, New York in 1967,〔(Service Profile )〕 and by March 3, 1969 was serving as a Sergeant in 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Infantry Brigade, 23d Infantry Division (Americal). On that day, west of Landing Zone Liz in the Republic of Vietnam, he manned a machine gun from an exposed position during an intense enemy attack, allowing others to rescue a wounded comrade.〔
Stone, aged 21 at his death, was buried in Chenango Valley Cemetery, Binghamton, New York.〔
Stone's Medal of Honor is currently in space. His mother Doris lent the medal to U.S. Army officer and NASA astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock to take on his June 2010 launch to the International Space Station. Wheelock, who was born in the same city as Lester Stone, plans to return the medal to the Stone family after returning to Earth in November.〔
