"His detachment came under devastating enemy fire from a strong German
force, pinning the men to the ground for a period of four hours. Gandara
advanced voluntarily and alone toward the enemy position and destroyed
three hostile machine-guns before he was fatally wounded."
From Pvt. Gandara's Medal of Honor citation, awarded on March 18, 2014.
Thank you for your service and may you be at peace,
