USMC Cpl. John Henry Pruitt - Medal of Honor Recipient during WWI

USMC Cpl. John Henry Pruitt exhibited true gallantry on the battlefields of WWI. He captured two machine gun emplacements before turning his sights on a nearby dugout. There, he was able to capture 40 German prisoners of war. He was awarded the Medal of Honor by the US Army and US Navy, and I am honored to tell you his story.
