    1st Lt. Garlin Conner receives one of his commendations during World War II. Conner risked his life against insurmountable odds the morning of January 24, 1945, in the woods of eastern France. Conner's direction as a field artillery guide resulted in the destruction of six German Panzer tanks, and the deaths of 50 German soldiers. His acts of bravery saved numerous lives from his Army company. For his actions, he will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House ceremony June 26, 2018.
