In World War II Europe, we are aware of five American soldiers who single-handedly attacked and stopped German tanks in combat. Such acts are the stuff of legend and truly “above and beyond” the call of duty! For their heroism, four men were awarded the Medal of Honor. However, James “Maggie” Megellas received the SILVER STAR. LTC (Retired) James “Maggie” Megellas is a 96 year old World War II hero. He should have been awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest military combat award, 68 years ago for his ‘above and beyond’ valor and leadership in the Battle of the Bulge.
