He served in WWI under Colonel Patton (Later, General, becoming famous during WWII). During a battle in 1918, Patton became wounded, and while under fire, this little 21 year old man pulled Patton to safety, saving his life. This heroic action earned him the Distinguished Service Cross. The Patton family also gifted him and his family an engraved pocket watch and silver tea set, along with a letter of thanks.
