John Dunn
First Lieutenant · Infantry · Class 86 (1942)
First Lieutenant John Henry Dunn IN 86-1942 was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Cross for actions on 30 August 1951 while serving with Company A, 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, Korea. While moving across the exposed terrain in an effort to instill courage in his men, Lieutenant Dunn was killed by a burst of fire from an enemy machine-gun, but his example of fearlessness so inspired his men that they successfully held their positions against overwhelming odds, until the order to withdraw was given. He was inducted into the OCS Hall of Fame in 2024.
