1st. Lt. Harold E. Goettler (July 21, 1890-1918) - One of only four Airmen to win the Medal of Honor in World War 1, Goettler was a 1st Lt. in the US Army Air Corps; 50th Aero Squadron. On October 6, 1918, Goettler and 2d Lt. Erwin R. Bleckley were on their second attempt to deliver supplies to a battalion of the 77th Division in France. "Having been subjected on the first trip to violent fire from the enemy, they attempted on the second trip to come still lower in order to get the packages even more precisely on the designated spot...the plane was brought down by enemy rifle and machine-gun fire from the ground, resulting in the instant death of Lt. Goettler. In attempting and performing this mission, he showed the highest possible contempt of personal danger, devotion to duty, courage and valor." - From Goettler's Medal of Honor Citation.
