This content was in Femoyer Hall, but it was really about this guy. I'm putting it here in case it's useful to this article: ", who joined the Enlisted Reserve Corps as a private at Roanoke, VA, November 11 1942. He was called to active duty the following February and took basic training at Miami Beach, FL. He became an aviation cadet in July 1943. He failed pilot training at the Mississippi Institute of Aeronautics at Jackson, Mississippi., but in 1944, graduated from the Army Air Force Flexible Gunnery School at Fort Myers, FL, and the AAF Navigation School at Selman Field, LA.

He went to the European Theater in September 1944, as a second lieutenant and was assigned to the 447th Bomb Group's 711th Squadron. Six weeks later, as navigator of a bomber on a mission near Merseburg, Germany, he was killed in action November 2, earning the nation's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor."
