William A. Soderman
William Adolph Soderman (March 20, 1912 – October 20, 1980) 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 the Bulge in World War II.
==Biography==
Soderman joined the Army from his birth city of West Haven, Connecticut in August 1943,〔(WWII Army Enlistment Records )〕 and by December 17, 1944 was serving as a private first class in Company K, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. On that day, near Rocherath, Belgium, Soderman used his bazooka to single-handedly disable three German tanks and attack an infantry platoon. Although seriously wounded, he survived the battle and was awarded the Medal of Honor eleven months later, on November 1, 1945.
Soderman left the Army while still a private first class. He married the late Virginia Rae Leake and had two children, Peter William Soderman, currently a resident of Mexico, and the late Susan Louise Soderman. He was proud of a long career working at the VA hospital in West Haven. He died at age 68 and was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in his hometown of West Haven, Connecticut.
