About SSGT Spurrier
World War II Medal of Honor Recipient. He served in the United States Army during World War II as a Staff Sergeant in Company G, 134th Infantry, 35th Infantry Division. He was awared the CMOH for his bravery at Achain, France, on November 13, 1944. His citation reads "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. At 2 p.m., Company G attacked the village of Achain from the east. S/Sgt. Spurrier armed with a BAR passed around the village and advanced alone. Attacking from the west, he immediately killed 3 Germans. From this time until dark, S/Sgt. Spurrier, using at different times his BAR and Ml rifle, American and German rocket launchers, a German automatic pistol, and handgrenades, continued his solitary attack against the enemy regardless of all types of small-arms and automatic-weapons fire. As a result of his heroic actions he killed an officer and 24 enlisted men and captured 2 officers and 2 enlisted men. His valor has shed fresh honor on the U.S. Armed Forces." His Medal was awarded to him on March 15, 1945.
