Glenn J DomanCOLONEL GLENN JOSEPH DOMAN, (then 2nd Lt.) Infantry, Co. K, 346th Inf., 87th Infantry Division. Awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy in Belgium. On the night of 7 January 1945, Lt.

The enemy counterattacked and isolated the platoon in the town, but although outnumbered he encouraged his men to continue the fight. When orders were received to withdraw, he personally covered his men with automatic rifle fire. The fearless determination and courageous devotion to duty Lt. Doman displayed exemplify the highest traditions of the military service.

Colonel Doman was the Legion of Valor National Commander in 1958-1959. He currently resides in Pennsylvania.
