Victor Leonard Kandle (June 13, 1921 – December 31, 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. ==Biography== Born in Roy, Washington, on June 13, 1921, Kandle joined the Army from Redwood City, California in September 1940.〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 He served in Europe as a first lieutenant with the 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. On October 9, 1944, near La Forge, France, he led his platoon in the capture of a German stronghold and the destruction of two machine gun emplacements. Then, with his men providing supporting fire, he attacked a fortified house and forced the Germans inside to surrender. He was killed in action two months later and, on May 11, 1945, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions near La Forge. Kandle was buried at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Épinal, France. Kandle Hall, a United States Army Reserve facility in Tacoma, Washington, is named in his honor.
