Also, if you've read Heinlein's "Starship Troopers", the troopship the
"Roger Young" is named after an Ohio guardsman, who was killed on New
Guinea(?).



Young, Rodger W., Private, 48th Infantry, 37th Infantry Division (Ohio
Buckeyes: born Tiffin Ohio, 28 April 1918; died 31 July 1943, on the
island New Georgia, Solomons, South Pacific, while singlewandedly
attacking and destroying an enemy machine-gun pillbox. His platoon had
been pinned down by intense fire from this pillbox: Private Young was
wounded in the first burst. He crawled toward the pillbox, was wounded a
second time but continued to advance, firing his rifle as he did so. He
closed on the pillbox, attacked and destroyed it with hand grenades, but
in so doing he was wounded a third time and killed. His bold and gallant
action in the face of overwhelming odds enabled his teammates to escape
without loss; he was awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor.
