I read he made Major and commanded Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne for the duration of the war, but was robbed of the CMH because 1 CMH was prescribed to each division during the Normandy campaign and the CMH of the 101st went to a senior commander who led a bayonet charge...

I also know that his assault on the German position at Bercourt Manor is still used as a textbook study of an assault on a fixed position at the US Military Academy, West Point.
