Lieutenant Charles C. Misner received the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in WWII while a member of the 94th Infantry Division. ìDuring the attack on Kesslingen, Germany, on February 19, 1945, Lieutenant Misner fearlessly led his platoon into the town against fierce enemy resistance, returned alone to direct the advance of supporting tanks and then rejoined his platoon, inspiring them by his heroic leadership. With the enemy driven from the town he exposed himself to intense enemy mortar fire to personally organize litter squads and supervise the evacuation of casualties. Lieutenant Misnerís bold leadership and aggressiveness are in keeping with the finest traditions of the armed forces.î Mr. Misner also received the British Military Cross, a decoration very rarely awarded to non-British officers for gallantry in action.

Mr. Misner joined the Legion of Valor in 1976 and resides in Indiana.
