Medal of Honor Recipient Ernest E. West is a member of Post 95.
He was presented the Medal by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
He was near Satae-ri, Korea 12 October 1952
Citation:
Pfc. West distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the
call of duty in action against the enemy. He voluntarily accompanied a
contingent to locate and destroy a reported enemy outpost. Nearing the
objective, the patrol was ambushed and suffered numerous causalities.
Observing his wounded leader lying in an exposed position, Pfc. West ordered the
troops to withdraw, then braved intense fire to reach and assist him.
While attempting evacuation, he was attacked by 3 hostile soldiers employing
grenades and small-arms fire. Quickly shifting his body to shelter the
officer, he killed the assailants with his rifle, then carried the helpless man
to safety. He was critically wounded and lost an eye in this action, but courageously returned through withering fire and bursting shells to assist the
wounded. While evacuating 2 comrades, he closed with and killed 3 more of
the foe. Pfc. West's indomitable spirit, consummate valor, and intrepid
actions inspired all of who observed him, reflect the highest credit on himself,
and uphold the honored traditions of the military service.
