Vito R. Bertoldo (December 1, 1916 – July 23, 1966) 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== Bertoldo joined the Army from his birthplace of Decatur, Illinois, and by January 9, 1945 was serving as a Master Sergeant in Company A, 242nd Infantry Regiment, 42nd Infantry Division. On that day, in Hatten, France, he manned a machine gun in defense of a command post being attacked by a numerically superior German force. When evacuation became necessary, he voluntarily stayed behind to cover the withdrawal. The next morning he moved to another command post, and again defended it against a continued assault by strong German forces and voluntarily covered the withdrawal of friendly forces when the post was abandoned. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor one year later, on January 10, 1946. Bertoldo left the Army while still a master sergeant. He died at age 49 and was buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery, San Bruno, California. He is survived by his son, David Bertoldo a retired Marine Officer who was awarded the Bronze Star as a Machine Gunner when he was an enlisted man in Vietnam. David now resides in Hemet California.
