I had to include Sergeant William Wilson because he is one of the nineteen people who have been twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and because he belonged the regiment that I was assigned to for both of my deployments. My unit Forward Operating Base was also named in his honor in Iraq in 2004-2005.
There is actually not much known about him. His citations are below but they do not provide much in the way of detail about the actions in which he earned the award or about him in general. He is buried in the San Francisco National Cemetery.
