George L. Mabry , Jr | Army | Lieutenant Colonel | Hurtgen Forest near Schevenhütte , Germany | November 20 , 1944 | Douglas MacArthur | Army | General | Bataan Peninsula , Philippines | April 1 , 1942 | With his father , Arthur MacArthur , Jr. , became first father and son pair to both receive the Medal of Honor | Charles A. MacGillivary | Army | Sergeant | near Woelfling , France | January 1 , 1945 | Immigrant from Canada | John D. Magrath † | Army | Private First Class | near Castel d'Aiano , Italy | April 14 , 1945 | His citation reads as follows : He displayed conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty when his company was pinned down by heavy artillery , mortar , and small arms fire , near Castel d'Aiano , Italy . Volunteering to act as a scout , armed with only a rifle , he charged headlong into withering fire , killing 2 Germans and wounding 3 in order to capture a machinegun . Carrying this enemy weapon across an open field through heavy fire , he neutralized 2 more machinegun nests ; he then circled behind 4 other Germans , killing them with a burst as they were firing on his company . Spotting another dangerous enemy position to this right , he knelt with the machinegun in his arms and exchanged fire with the Germans until he had killed 2 and wounded 3 . The enemy now poured increased mortar and artillery fire on the company 's newly won position . Pfc . Magrath fearlessly volunteered again to brave the shelling in order to collect a report of casualties . Heroically carrying out this task , he made the supreme sacrifice -- a climax to the valor and courage that are in keeping with highest traditions of the military service | Joe E. Mann † | Army | Private First Class | Best , Holland | September 18 , 1944 | Private First Class - Joe Eugene Mann , Company H , 502d Parachute Infantry , 101st Airborne Division . His citation reads as follows : Mann boldly crept to within rocket-launcher range of an enemy artillery position and , in the face of heavy enemy fire , destroyed an 88-mm gun and an ammunition dump . Completely disregarding the great danger involved , he remained in his exposed position , and , with his M1 rifle , killed the enemy one by one until he was wounded four times . Taken to a covered position , he insisted on returning to a forward position to stand guard during the night . On the following morning the enemy launched a concerted attack and advanced to within a few yards of the position , throwing hand grenades as they approached . One of these landed within a few feet of Pfc . Mann . Unable to raise his arms , which were bandaged to his body , he yelled Grenade and threw his body over the grenade , and as it exploded , died . His outstanding gallantry above and beyond the call of duty and his magnificent conduct were an everlasting inspiration to his comrades for whom he gave his life | Harry L. Martin † | Marine Corps | First Lieutenant | Iwo Jima , Volcano Islands | March 26 , 1945 | Sacrificed his life to help rescue some of his men who had been overrun by the enemy | Joe P. Martinez † | Army | Private | Attu , Aleutians | May 26 , 1943 | First private to earn the medal in World War II and the first and only soldier to earn such medal in a battle that occurred on American soil
