First Lieutenant, U.S. Army
Garlin Murl Conner was a United States Army technical sergeant and first lieutenant in the Second World War. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, four Silver Stars, Bronze Star, and the French Croix de guerre for his heroic actions in Italy and France during the war. During his campaigns, he was wounded three times. His Distinguished Service Cross was upgraded to the Medal of Honor, after a 22-year effort that began shortly before his death. President Trump presented the medal to his widow, Lyda Pauline Conner, in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House on 26 June 2018.
