Francis Sherman "Frank" Currey (born June 29, 1925) is a former United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II. December 21, 1944, Currey was serving as a Sergeant in Company K, 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division. On that day, in Malmedy, Belgium, Currey repeatedly exposed himself to hostile fire to attack the German forces and rescue five comrades who had been pinned down by enemy fire. He was awarded the Medal of Honor eight months later, on August 17, 1945.

In 1998, a G.I. Joe action figure was modeled after Currey.

Very cool. I have followed your lead with this and have written to four veterans now myself.
