Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and Utah resident George E. Wahlen died Friday morning after an extended illness.
Wahlen was 84-years-old.
Wahlen earned the Medal of Honor as a Navy Corpsman at the battle of Iwo Jima where he is credited for saving countless lives.
He was injured on three separate occasions but refused to leave the battlefield.
President Harry S. Truman presented the Medal of Honor to Wahlen in 1945. He later re-enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He retired with the rank of Major.
He then went on to a career with The Department of Veterans affairs where he continued to serve our country and other veterans for 14 years.
