On the night that he was KIA, the Japanese Army made a guerilla attack on his company's makeshift camp. He quickly grabbed his Thompson M19, ran into a nearby foxhole and began firing his gun at the attacking enemies. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for heroically helping and protecting his fellow patriots by taking down eight Japanese soldiers before being mortally-wounded by another.
