Paul F. Riordan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Paul F. Riordan
Paul F. Riordan (November 8, 1920 – February 8, 1944) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II during the Battle of Monte Cassino. ==Biography== Riordan joined the Army from Kansas City, Missouri in 1940,〔(Iowa Medal of Honor Heroes )〕 and by February 3, 1944 was serving as a second lieutenant in the 133rd Infantry Regiment, 34th Infantry Division. On that day, near Cassino, Italy, Riordan single-handedly silenced a German machine gun emplacement. Five days later, on February 8, he was again in the lead during an attack on a German strongpoint. Cut off from his unit, he attempted to take the objective on his own, but was killed in the process. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on September 11, 1944. Riordan, aged 23 at his death, was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Raytown, Missouri.
