Today, we honor Second Lieutenant Paul F. Riordan, born on November 8, 1920, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary bravery during the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. Amidst intense enemy fire, Riordan led his platoon and made a courageous solo attempt to secure a critical enemy position. His selfless actions cost him his life but inspired his men and contributed to the success of his unit.
