Milton L. Knudson

Milton L. Knudson (1923–1942) was a United States Navy sailor who received the Navy and Marine Corps Medal posthumously for his actions during World War II.
==Naval career==
Milton Lox Knudson was born in Geneva, Illinois, on 20 October 1923. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on 1 July 1941.
While serving in the destroyer USS ''Laffey'' (DD-459) in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, he distinguished himself on 15 September 1942 during rescue operations for survivors of the aircraft carrier USS ''Wasp'' (CV-7), which was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine south of Guadalcanal that day. With "courageous disregard"〔This quotation, from the ''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships'' (at http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/k5/knudson.htm), is unattributed.〕 for his personal safety, he dived over the side of ''Laffey'' and swam considerable distances with lines to rescue ''Wasp''s exhausted sailors, thus saving the lives of many who otherwise might have perished.
During the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 13 November 1942, Seaman First Class Knudson was killed in action when ''Laffey'' was sunk by Japanese torpedoes and gunfire in Ironbottom Sound north of Guadalcanal.
