MURRARY, JR., USA(RET) Rank and organization : First Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company C, 30th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division. Place and date : Near Kaysersberg, France, 16 December 1944. Entered service at : Wilmington, N.C. Birth : Baltimore, Md. G.O. No. : 63, 1 August 1945. Citation : For commanding Company C, 30th Infantry, displaying supreme courage and heroic initiative near Kaysersberg, France, on 16 December 1944, while leading a reinforced platoon into enemy territory. Descending into a valley beneath hilltop positions held by our troops, he observed a force of 200 Germans pouring deadly mortar, bazooka, machinegun, and small arms fire into an American battalion occupying the crest of the ridge. The enemy's position in a sunken road, though hidden from the ridge, was open to a flank attack by 1st Lt. Murray's patrol but he hesitated to commit so small a force to battle with the superior and strongly disposed enemy. Crawling out ahead of his troops to a vantage point, he called by radio for artillery fire. His shells bracketed the German force, but when he was about to correct the range his radio went dead. He returned to his patrol, secured grenades and a rifle to launch them and went back to his self- appointed outpost. His first shots disclosed his position; the enemy directed heavy fire against him as he methodically fired his missiles into the narrow defile. Again he returned to his patrol. With an automatic rifle and ammunition, he once more moved to his exposed position. Burst after burst he fired into the enemy, killing 20, wounding many others, and completely disorganizing its ranks, which began to withdraw. He prevented the removal of 3 German mortars by knocking out a truck. By that time a mortar had been brought to his support. 1st Lt. Murray directed fire of this weapon, causing further casualties and confusion in the German ranks. Calling on his patrol to follow, he then moved out toward his original objective, possession of a bridge and construction of a roadblock. He captured 10 Germans in foxholes. An eleventh, while pretending to surrender, threw a grenade which knocked him to the ground, inflicting 8 wounds. Though suffering and bleeding profusely, he refused to return to the rear until he had chosen the spot for the block and had seen his men correctly deployed. By his single- handed attack on an overwhelming force and by his intrepid and heroic fighting, 1st Lt. Murray stopped a counterattack, established an advance position against formidable odds, and provided an inspiring example for the men of his command. 3 WWII hero Charles P. Murray Jr. dies at 90 WWII Veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Col. Charles P. Murray speaks during the "Salute to World War II Veterans" program held Saturday Feb. 26, 2005 at the Historic USO/ Community Arts Center downtown. Published: Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 3:30 a.m. Last Modified: Friday, August 12, 2011 at 9:31 p.m. Col. Charles P. Murray Jr., a Medal of Honor recipient and New Hanover High School graduate, passed away Friday in Columbia, S.C. He was 90. WWII hero Charles P. Murray Jr. dies at 90 He's remembered for his valor, positive demeanor and achievements. "Charles Murray was a wonderful friend. He was a magnificent soldier and public servant," said Wilbur Jones, a local historian. Murray died in his sleep Friday afternoon after a short illness, his son, Brian Murray, said. He had a pacemaker put in four weeks ago and got very ill last night, Brian Murray said. Charles Murray received the Medal of Honor for valor during World War II. On Dec. 14, 1944, in Kayserberg, France, then-1st Lt. Murray organized his company to keep German troops from taking a hill and the valley below. He killed 20 enemy soldiers, wounded several and captured 10. At one point, a German soldier tossed a grenade that wounded him in eight places. Before seeking medical care, he put his troops into position. Murray graduated from New Hanover High School in 1938. 4 According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, Murray received his medal in Salzburg, Austria, presented by Lt. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes, Commanding Gen. U.S. II Corps., on July 5, 1945. In 2001, Murray Middle School in New Hanover County was named after the colonel. At the naming ceremony, Murray said: "I'm pleased with what I see." But he also took the time to ask the crowd to remember those who suffered and died at Pearl Harbor. The 60th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor had just occurred. "Some people said we were almost knocked out of the ring," Murray said. "But this nation rapidly organized and equipped and trained ... the mightiest military. We emerged a better people and a stronger nation." Jones said Murray visited Wilmington numerous times over the years and was supportive of efforts to preserve Wilmington's World War II history. "He was one of my guiding lights," Jones said. "He was one of the most pleasant, most positive men I have ever worked with." When he returned to Wilmington, Murray enjoyed visiting with students at his namesake school. "He loved the students," Jones said. "He was very proud of the fact that the school was named for him." Murray Middle School is one of three at Veterans Park named for Medal of Honor recipients. The others are Ashley High, named for Sgt. Eugene Ashley Jr., and Anderson Elementary, named for Rear Admiral Edwin A. Anderson. Don Hayes, New Hanover County Board of Education chairman, remembered being on the school board when the decision was made. He said he thought it was a wonderful idea and a fitting tribute. "I'm in awe of what I know these people did to be awarded the Medal of Honor," Hayes said. Jones noted that in recent years he visited Kayserberg and has been working with a veterans' organization to install a historic marker in a vineyard there. Murray was a career military man, according to his son, Brian Murray. In addition to World War II, he served in Korea and Vietnam. He retired from Fort Jackson as a brigade commander colonel in 1971. Murray had lived in Columbia, S.C., since the late 1960s. He came to Wilmington when he was 6 months old and lived here until he returned from World War II. Then, he transferred around the world doing his duty, Brian Murray said. Charles Murray was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Murray is survived by his wife Anne, whom he married in 1942, and many other family members, including his son Brian and his daughter, Cynthia. Murray's sister-in-law, Barbara 5 Moore, lives in Castle Hayne with her husband Arthur. Murray was preceded in death by his son Charles P. Murray III and his brothers, Bill and Don Murray. Funeral services were pending as of press time. There are 84 Medal of Honor recipients alive today.

  • Bob Steinman ______
    Transcription: Bob Steinman ________________________________________________________________ Today is Thursday, March 1st, 2012. My name is James Crabtree. This morning I’ll be interviewing Mr. Bob Steinman. This interview is taking place in person at the Armed Forces Museum here at Camp Mabry, in Austin, Texas, and it’s being conducted in support of the Texas Veterans Land Board Voices of Veterans Oral History Program. Sir, thank you for taking the time to talk to us today. Bob Steinman: I appreciate you coming out. Yes sir, well it’s an honor for us. The first question I always like to start with is to ask you to tell us a little bit about your childhood and your life before you went into the military. Bob Steinman: Well, I grew up in Waco, Texas. My brother was in World War II. He was on the Destroyer Pacific with Halsey’s taskforce, and I guess that’s where I kind of got my hankering to join the Navy there. Not only Waco was and is kind of a blah place, so I decided it was time to try to get out and see the world a little bit. But I graduated from Waco High School and then after that, I was going to go to college, but the parents didn’t have the finances and everything like that, and so I started working with a paint and wallpaper store and I ended up within a year I was the assistant manager and then went on to manager of that. I graduated from high school when I was just barely 16.

  • 97Th Infantry Division
    Memoirs of WWII –97th Infantry Division It has been the experience of all veterans that time brings a blurring of detail, that memories are less exact after events, and that first hand recordings in print on the spot serve best to put down in black and white what happened. ~ Unknown writer. REFLECTIONS ON THE 97TH INFANTRY DIVISION On his 90th Birthday Brigadier General Sherman V Hasbrouck As Told to J.W. Redding 18th June 1988 PREFACE The 97th Infantry Division was originally organized in September, 1918, and saw action in France during WWI. It was demobilized 20 November of the same year and reconstituted as an organized reserve unit. The Division was reactivated 25 February 1943 at Camp Swift, Texas, under the command of Maj Gen Louis A Craig. Brig Gen Julien Barnes was the Division Artillery Commander. The 303d Inf Regt and the 303d FA Bn were the only units with the reactivated division that can boast of battle streamers from World War I. The Division went through basic and unit training at Camp Swift. It took their physical fitness test there. The artillery battalions took their AGF firing test at Camp Bowie, Texas. During the latter part of October, 1943, the Division departed Camp Swift for the Louisiana Maneuver area, spending the next 3 months in the field on division exercises. Following the Louisiana Maneuver period, the Division was transferred to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri where it continued with unit training. While at Ft Leonard Wood, Gen Craig was assigned to the command of the 23d Corps which he relinquished to take command of a combat division in Europe.

  • 1775 – Spring 2015
    The Journal of the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association SPRING 2015 INTEGRATED PERSONNEL AND PAY SYSTEM - ARMY Military Pay Transition US ARMY HUMAN RESOURCES WILL WELCOME A NEW COMMANDING GENERAL FORT KNOX, KY – On 5 June 2015, MG Richard P. Mustion, Commanding General, US Army Human Resources Command, will relinquish command to MG Thomas Seamands and retire from the US Army after more than 34 years of honorable service to the Army and the Nation. MG Mustion assumed command of Human Resources Command in August 2012 and has guided the command through an Army in persistent conflict and continuous deployments to an Army that is resetting and facing significant turbulence through a substantial draw down of forces. MG Mustion’s vision for future human resources support of Army operations resulted in his spearheading the new HR Optimization initiative that will accomplish the following: 1) Enable execution of Mission Command by MG Richard P. Mustion Senior Commanders over the HR domain and allow G1s to effectively conduct training readiness oversight (TRO) support for Corps / Divisions / Brigades, and execute the resultant additional HR oversight; 2) Realign Army HR support to Senior Commanders through the multifunctional HR capability and direct support execution from the HR Company; 3) Reassess Standard Requirements Code 12 HR unit structure / requirements and determine new HR Company structure for DS at Corps and a new HR Operations Center (HROC) construct for ASCCs; and 4) Assess a potential shift of responsibility for the Army’s Postal mission and review the HR Operations Branch (HROB) structure in Sustainment Brigades and ESCs.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.
