Wilburn K. Ross

Wilburn Kirby Ross (born May 12, 1922) is a retired 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==
Ross was born in Strunk, Kentucky. As a boy he would practice his marksmanship by placing a match in the crook of a tree and lighting it from a distance with a round from his .22 caliber rifle. He started working in coal mines at age 18, but he soon joined the United States Army.〔 By October 30, 1944, he was serving as a private in Company G, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. On that day, near Saint-Jacques, France, Ross manned a machinegun through repeated German assaults, holding off the enemy even after his supporting riflemen had run out of ammunition. During the incident, Ross noticed what he thought was the body of a deceased German soldier. This individual was in fact alive, and an American Lieutenant, who was watching Ross the entire time. This lieutenant later reported Ross' acts of valor and recommended him for the Medal of Honor〔 which was issued six months later, on April 14, 1945.
Ross reached the rank of Master Sergeant before retiring from the Army. He now lives in DuPont, Washington. The town named a community park after him and erected a memorial, on which is inscribed Ross' official Medal of Honor citation.
