Biography
Major Everett Parker Pope was a United States Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his conspicuous gallantry on Peleliu in September 1944. During the battle, he led his men in an assault on a strategic hill and successfully held it against intense Japanese suicide attacks, even resorting to using rocks and bare fists when ammunition ran low.
His distinguished combat leadership and extreme bravery under fire earned him the nation's highest military decoration. He served with honor throughout the campaign in the Pacific theater, exemplifying the highest traditions of the Marine Corps.
Following his decorated military service during World War II, Pope returned to civilian life, leaving behind a legacy of extraordinary heroism, devotion to duty, and outstanding leadership in the face of overwhelming odds.
