EHLERS, WALTER D
Ehlers Walter d. the rank he had In the army when he was active Staff Sergeant, U.S. Army, 18th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. He receive the medal of honor For his actions, he was issued the Medal of Honor six months later, on December 19, 1944.Ehlers joined the Army from Manhattan, Kansas, and by June 9, 1944.
Citation Staff Sergeant Ehlers' official Medal of Honor citation reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 9-10 June 1944, near Goville, France. S/Sgt. Ehlers, always acting as the spearhead of the attack, repeatedly led his men against heavily defended enemy strong points exposing himself to deadly hostile fire whenever the situation required heroic and courageous leadership. Without waiting for an order, S/Sgt. Ehlers, far ahead of his men, led his squad against a strongly defended enemy strong point, personally killing 4 of an enemy patrol who attacked him en route. Then crawling forward under withering machinegun fire, he pounced upon the guncrew and put it out of action. Turning his attention to 2 mortars protected by the crossfire of 2 machineguns, S/Sgt. Ehlers led his men through this hail of bullets to kill or put to flight the enemy of the mortar section, killing 3 men himself. After mopping up the mortar positions, he again advanced on a machinegun, his progress effectively covered by his squad. When he was almost on top of the gun he leaped to his feet and, although greatly outnumbered, he knocked out the position single-handed. The next day, having advanced deep into enemy territory, the platoon of which S/Sgt. Ehlers was a member, finding itself in an untenable position as the enemy brought increased mortar, machinegun, and small arms fire to bear on it, was ordered to withdraw. S/Sgt. Ehlers, after his squad had covered the withdrawal of the remainder of the
platoon, stood up and by continuous fire at the semicircle of enemy placements, diverted the bulk of the heavy hostile fire on himself, thus permitting the members of his own squad to withdraw. At this point, though wounded himself, he carried his wounded automatic rifleman to safety and then returned fearlessly over the shell-swept field to retrieve the automatic rifle which he was unable to carry previously. After having his wound treated, he refused to be evacuated, and returned to lead his squad. The intrepid leadership, indomitable courage, and fearless aggressiveness displayed by S/Sgt. Ehlers in the face of overwhelming enemy forces serve as an inspiration to others
I want to thank the staff sergeant Walter d Ehlers that he did and incredible act of courage by risking his life for his squad and that he was brave enough to go in front of the squad there’s not to many soldiers like u left that think for them squad before thinking of them.

my po3m and his dream !|!

i have a dream that one day even the state of missipi, a desert state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice

what this words means is that this state and others have some rules and they discriminate alot of african america people and what martin luther king wants
that all the people should be treated the same and that they are not different from other people

i think thats the dream he had that the people should be treated the same way because no body is different we are all the same and nobody shpuld be discriminated by their skin color they should beknow by what they have inside how they are.
