Who was Carlos C. Ogden?

Carlos Carnes Ogden, Sr. was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration — the Medal of Honor — for his actions in World War II.

Ogden joined the Army from Fairmount, Illinois in April 1941, and by June 25, 1944 was serving as a First Lieutenant in Company K, 314th Infantry Regiment, 79th Infantry Division. During a firefight on that day, near Fort du Roule, France, Ogden single-handedly destroyed three German gun emplacements. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor one year later, on June 28, 1945.

Ogden reached the rank of major before leaving the Army. He died at age 83 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington County, Virginia.
