  • Frank D. Peregory (1916-1944) was a United States Army technical sergeant who posthumously received the United States military's highest decoration for bravery in combat, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during World War II. In a previous incident, he also received the Soldier's Medal for rescuing another soldier from drowning. Peregoy grew up in a large family in Virginia. Although he was only 15 years old, in 1931, he lied about his age in order to join the Virginia Army National Guard. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941 his unit was activated. While guarding a beach, Peregory received the Soldier's Medal for saving a fellow soldier from drowning. When the unit arrived for combat overseas, they were assigned to the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Peregory again risked his life by single-handedly attacking a fortified German machine-gun emplacement, killing several and taking more than 30 prisoners. For his actions during the battle, he later received the Medal of Honor. The Medal was presented posthumously, however, because on June 14, 1944, six days after the action for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor, he was killed. (en)
