A Cigarette, A Pistol, & Selfless Actions: The Story of MoH Recipient Tom Baker
Posted on July 9, 2017 by Katie Lange
This Medal of Honor Monday, we honor a World War II soldier who lost his life 73 years ago, nearly to the day, while keeping his fellow soldiers safe.
Thomas Baker, a native of Troy, New York, joined the New York Army National Guard in 1935. He served for three years and got out, but reenlisted in 1940 as the U.S. came closer to entering World War II.
