On May 4, 1945, when a parked tank at the 1st Battalion Command Post caught fire, putting nearby vehicles at risk from flames and exploding ammunition, Technician 5th Grade Eugene B. Spade from Major General Stanley Eric Reinhart's 261st Infantry Regiment raced through bursting 90-mm shells and .50 caliber cartridges to prevent a disaster.
