"All Hell Can't Stop Us"

Bronze Star Medal Citation

Private First Class Harry A. Krantz, 36674236, Medical Department, United States Army, for heroic service in connection with military operations against an enemy of the United States at ****, Belgium on 25 January 1945. When Company C, 134th Infantry, launched an attack over an open field, the enemy employed grazing fire, pinning down Company C and forcing it into a fire fight. Because of the type of enemy fire utilized, it was difficult for medical aid personnel to move about, but Private Krantz, an aid man, with complete disregard for personal safety, moved among the personnel of Company C, administering first aid and, in many instances, carrying wounded to the safety of woods in the rear. Private Krantz' bravery, coolness, devotion to duty and disregard for personal safety, denote him an asset to his unit and a credit to the Medical Department of the Army. Entered military service from Illinois.
