First Lieutenant Cecil H. Bolton received the Medal of Honor for his actions on November 2, 1944, near the Mark River in the Netherlands. As his company was pinned down by German machine guns, he continued directing fire after being seriously wounded, then led a small bazooka team through icy canal water to attack enemy positions and help disable an artillery gun. Wounded again, he sent his men back to safety and crawled to his own lines. His actions helped his battalion reach its objective.

85 years ago today, the U.S. Navy lost its first warship sunk in World War II. Since June, American ships were escorting convoys in the Atlantic and meeting German U-Boats. Sometimes the Germans and American exchanged fire, and two U.S. destroyers had been damaged. On October 31, 1941, south of Iceland, U-552 put a torpedo into destroyer USS Reuben James, which was engaging another U-Boat nearby with depth charges.
The torpedo detonated the ship’s forward magazines, and the ship exploded and broke in two. The forward section quickly sank, followed by the rear section five minutes later. Of a crew of 144 men, only 44 survived. One of those survivors was Oshkosh’s Kenneth Oaks, a Radioman Third Class. Oaks survived another sinking in 1943, and died in 1999.
The sinking of Reuben James made international news, and was one of the events cited in the German declaration of war on the United States in December 1941.
