James Phillip Connor
James Phillip Connor (January 12, 1919–July 27, 1994) was a sergeant in the United States Army who was awarded the Medal of Honor after leading a platoon of 36 men attached to the US 7th Infantry (US 3rd Infantry Division) against German positions, defended by snipers and machine gun nests, at Cape Cavalaire, France on August 15, 1944. Seriously wounded in the course of the assault, the third suffered while on active duty, he continued to fight alongside his men until his injuries forced him to stand down (although he continued to direct the assault).
