"Above & Beyond"
A Hero’s Story
Master Sergeant Wm. J. Crawford
WWII Medal of Honor Recipient
This is the true account of conspicuous gallantry in action at risk of life beyond the call of duty during World War II. While facing an overwhelming number of Germany’s best forces, this unassuming hero single handedly defeated the enemy before him and ensured his company's unobstructed advance.
Bill Crawford was presumed dead in this heroic action and the Medal of Honor was presented posthumously to his father in 1944. Forty years later, during the 1984 U.S. Air Force Academy Commencement ceremony, President Ronald Reagan formally presented the Medal of Honor to William Crawford for his unflinching heroism, far Above & Beyond the call of duty.
