A blurb from my research and portion to be published:
“His story is one of legend. In the early days of fighting, his company got a call that soldiers at the front were being attacked with heavy fire and they needed urgent help. So, Kattar volunteered to assist. He killed seven enemy combatants and helped wiped out a machinegun nest. He carried one soldier on his back and went back and did the same for a second soldier. While Kattar was advancing to rescue the two soldiers, he was hit with shrapnel that was unremoved for the rest of his life. Kattar was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for his heroism.”
