Luther J. Hagan, United States Army:  Near Bellicourt, France, September 29, 1918.  When his squad was held up by fire from a sniper’s post he advanced alone against it across an open space and drove the others off, allowing a renewal of the advance.  Later he braved heavy shell fire to go to the aid of wounded soldiers, dressing their wounds and assisting them back to the lines.

Hagan was born on February 2, 1892 in French Lick, IN.  His membership in the Legion of Valor was sponsored by Fred Spaulding, DSC, a fellow Hoosier.
