Louis Joseph Van Schaick (pronounced "Van Scoik") (July 1, 1875 - February 14, 1945) was an officer in the United States Army and a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions in the Philippine-American War. ==Biography== He was born on July 1, 1875 in Cobleskill, New York. Van Schaick attended West Point as a member of the 1900 class, but left one year before graduating to join the army. While serving in the Philippines, he held the governorships of Cavite (1905-1907) and Mindoro (1908-1912). He later went on to fight with General John J. Pershing in pursuit of Pancho Villa, and was part of the 1st expeditionary force sent to France (as a lieutenant colonel), again with General Pershing. He was retired for disability in August 1934 with the rank of colonel. He was later imprisoned during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, and died shortly after his release on February 14, 1945. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis J.
