Louis de Corail, Consul General of France in Atlanta, pins the Legion of Honor medal on George Aigen during a ceremony, April 11, 2019, in Valdosta, Ga. Aigen was bestowed the highest honor in France: induction into the French Legion of Honor as a knight, or chevalier for his actions during World War II. In April 1945, as a 19-year-old Army corporal, Aigen fought alongside other soldiers in 1269th Combat Engineers Company B and was part of the group who liberated Dachau, the first concentration camp built by the Nazis in 1933.
