Private Harold G. Kiner, U.S. Army

Company F, 117th Infantry, 30th Infantry Division

Date Of Presentation: Awarded Posthumously

Place/Date Earned: Near Palenberg, Germany, October 2, 1944

With four other men, he was leading in a frontal assault 2 October 1944, on a Siegfried line pillbox near Palenberg, Germany. Machine-gun fire from the strongly defended enemy position 25 yards away pinned down the attackers. The Germans threw hand grenades, one of which dropped between Pvt. Kiner and two other men. With no hesitation, Pvt. Kiner hurled himself upon the grenade, smothering the explosion. By his gallant action and voluntary sacrifice of his own life, he saved his two comrades from serious injury or death.
