Thomas E. McCall
Thomas Edward McCall (May 9, 1916 – September 19, 1965) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions during the Battle of Monte Cassino in World War II.
==Biography==
McCall joined the Army from Veedersburg, Indiana, and by January 22, 1944 was serving as a Staff Sergeant in Company F, 143rd Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division. On that day, near San Angelo, Italy, he led his section in the crossing of the Gari River (erroneously identified as the Rapido〔(1944: la battaglia di S.Angelo in Theodice e la confusione tra i fiumi Rapido e Gari ), 1944: the Battle of St. Angelo in Theodice and the Confusion between Rapido and Gari rivers.〕) despite intense German fire. After all his men had been killed or wounded, he single-handedly destroyed two enemy machine gun positions and charged a third before being captured. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor the next year, on April 17, 1945.
McCall also served and was wounded in the Korean War, reaching the rank of Master Sergeant.
McCall died at age 49 and was buried in Spring Vale Cemetery, Lafayette, Indiana. He drowned while rescuing his 8-year-old son, Thomas.
