Who is Joe Calvin Paul?

Joe Calvin Paul was born on April 23, 1946, in Williamsburg, Kentucky. He graduated from grammar school and attended high school for one year before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps on April 26, 1963, in Dayton, Ohio, shortly after his seventeenth birthday.

On August 18, 1965, while serving as a fire team leader with Company H, LCpl Paul placed himself between his wounded comrades and the enemy and delivered effective suppressive fire in order to divert the Viet Cong long enough to allow the casualties to be evacuated. He fought in this exposed position until he was mortally wounded. He succumbed to his wounds the next day, August 19, 1965.

Lance Corporal Joe Calvin Paul was awarded the Medal of Honor on February 7, 1967

See his WALL OF HONOR on July 4th-5th inside the old Whitley County Courthouse which includes his Uniform and his Medal Of Honor provided by Greg and Cathy Sims from the Joe C Paul Marine Corp League Det #1448.
