Stuart S. Stryker

Stuart S. Stryker (October 30, 1924 – March 24, 1945) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in World War II.
==Biography==
Born on October 30, 1924, in Portland, Oregon, Stryker joined the Army from that city〔〔 in July 1943.〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 He served in Europe as a private first class in Company E of the 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne Division.〔〔
During Operation Varsity on March 24, 1945, Stryker's company attacked a strongly defended building near Wesel, Germany. When a platoon tasked with making a frontal assault became pinned down by intense fire, Stryker voluntarily ran to the head of the unit, called for the soldiers to follow him, and charged the German position. He was killed by hostile fire from the building. His attack provided a diversion which allowed other elements of Company E to take the position, capturing over 200 soldiers and freeing three American airmen held as prisoners by the Germans. For these actions, Stryker was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor nine months later, on December 11, 1945.〔 He was one of three people to earn the medal during Operation Varsity, the others being Private First Class George J. Peters and Technical Sergeant Clinton Hedrick.
Aged 20 at his death, Stryker was buried at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California.〔 In 2002, the U.S. Army named its new armored fighting vehicle "Stryker" in honor of both Stuart Stryker and fellow Medal of Honor recipient Robert F. Stryker.〔
