Private Wiedorfer courageously took charge and rescued his unit under extremely treacherous
circumstances. He risked his own life by charging the enemy in a completely open area (with no cover and back up) to save his platoon. I agree that it was a Christmas miracle that he was not struck by enemy fire. To just think of doing that -- what bravery! Private Wiedorfer is most deserving of the Medal of Honor and is an inspiration to us all. God Bless you.

Private Paul Wiedorfer, he proved to be a very strong leader and managed to save many of his fellow soldiers. With regards to the miracle that he was not hit by enemy fire, things happen for a reason in battle and I admire his fortitude. I liked that fact he was surrounded by all those officers, nurses and military band when he received the Medal. He certainly deserved the ceremony. We salute him proudly!

Please note PVT Paul Weidorfer stands as a wonderful example to our young people today.' My brother was in the 80th infantry co G 318th Patton's 3rd army in Metz France where he was killed .I always look for that company to see if anyone knew him. I still miss him very much. My prayers are for all these families whose loved one who were injured or did not get to come home.

My mother was an Army Nurse with Patton's 3rd Army in charge of triage. At age 21 she had to decide who if treated would survive and whose wounds were too severe to survive. Talk about growing up fast. All of our soldiers did their job without complaints and whining. And without the protection of kevlar body armour that our troops have today. Those that served were all
brave and deserving of our respect and honor.

I got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Wiedorfer and have enjoyed many conversations with them. I have served with the 80th over the years and we still honor and admire him today. Last week marked 35 years since Paul Wiedorfer saved his platoon on that cold Christmas day in Belgium. Listening to him tell the story of his heroic act made me proud to be in his presence. But his kindness and modesty are even more heart warming and give hope that anyone would have the courage to rise up and defend their fellow man. Paul Wiedorfer is an American hero.

Mr Wiedorfer is indeed a great hero. I am working for the moment on an informative board that will be put next to the Beech Tree in Chaumont and where his name and acts will be mentioned so that future generations will remember heroes like Paul. The board will be inaugurated in mid September 2009 in the presence of General Albin F. Irzyk, Commander of the 8th Tank Battalion
