FIRST LIEUTENANT STANLEY D. LLEWELLYN, (then Second Lieutenant), 196th Field Artillery Battalion, Untied States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy on 18 December 1944, in Germany. Under cover of darkness, a strong German force completely surrounded First Lieutenant Llewellyn’s observation post in a building along a vital supply route. Intense enemy fire was being directed upon him from all directions. Realizing the importance of maintaining the communications and supply route at any cost, First Lieutenant Llewellyn requested artillery fire upon his own position. Stunned by several direct hits upon the building, he unflinchingly requested an intense artillery concentration upon himself and the immediate area, which repulsed the attack. At daylight, approximately two hundred enemy dead were found lying near his observation post.

Mr. Llewellyn joined the L.O.V. in 1989 and resided in New Hampshire.
