On Memorial Day, the U.S. Army will honor the memory of Pfc. Luther Herschel Story, a Korean War soldier from Americus, Georgia, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions. Story sacrificed his own safety to cover his company’s retreat, and his Medal of Honor and portrait at the National Infantry Museum will serve as a reminder of his sacrifice and the sacrifices of all who have served. His remains will be buried at Andersonville National Cemetery near his hometown on Memorial Day.
