"Then Pfc. Salvador Lara was bestowed the Medal of Honor to recognize his
valorous actions in Aprilia, Italy, May 27–28, 1944. During the fight,
May 27, he aggressively led his rifle squad in neutralizing multiple
enemy strong points and inflicting large numbers of casualties on the
enemy. The next morning, as his company resumed the attack, Lara
sustained a severe leg wound, but did not stop to receive first aid. Lara continued his exemplary performance until he captured his
objective."
From PFC. Lara's Medal of Honor citation, awarded on March 18, 2014.
Delayed but ultimately honored,
Brian & Mel
