Stephen R. Gregg
Stephen Raymond Gregg, Sr., (September 1, 1914 – February 4, 2005) 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 World War II.
==Biography==
Gregg joined the Army from Bayonne, New Jersey in February 1942,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by August 27, 1944 was serving as a technical sergeant in 143rd Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division. On that day, near Montélimar, France, he provided covering fire for a combat medic who was evacuating wounded men to safety. Gregg was briefly captured by German soldiers, but managed to escape and returned to the fight. The next day, he directed the fire of his mortar section until communications were disabled. Upon learning that the mortar position had been captured and was being used to fire on his own company, he attacked and re-took the mortars. Gregg was subsequently promoted to second lieutenant and, on April 17, 1945, awarded the Medal of Honor.
His wife Irene died in 2001, having lived long enough to see Hudson County, New Jersey named a park after her hero husband.
Gregg left the Army while still a second lieutenant. He went to work for the Hudson's County Sheriff's Department and retired as chief of court officers in 1996, after fifty one years of service. He remained very social with his fellow Medal of Honor recipients attending dinners and fundraisers. He died at age 90 and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington, New Jersey. He is survived by his son, Stephen Gregg Jr., his daughter, Susan Gregg, and two grandsons, Stephen Gregg III and Adam Gregg.
