Ramon G. Gutierrez - Company E - 1942
Ramon G. Gutierrez was a member of Company E during World War II. Ramon G. Gutierrez was with the 2nd Btn. 141st Infantry E Company at Salerno, Rapido River and others. He was awarded two silver stars, two purple hearts and after the war, the USSR awarded him the Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class. The only other non-Russians awarded this honor were General Dwight D. Eisenhower and British Field Marshal Montogomery. He was recently honored with a memorial in his hometown of Del Rio, Texas but we don't have much information about the details, especially about the Russian award. The memorial is in front of the San Felipe High School Exes Memorial Museum in Del Rio, Texas. http://texasmilitaryforcesmuseum.yuku.com/reply/2391#.WN1x0me1thE
