Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Seymour W. Terry (December 11, 1918 - May 13, 1945) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration-the Medal of Honor-for his actions in World War II. Terry joined the Army from his birth city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and by May 11, 1945 was serving as a first lieutenant in Company B, 382nd Infantry Regiment, 96th Infantry Division. On that day, in a fight for "Zebra Hill" during the Battle of Okinawa, Terry repeatedly assaulted the Japanese forces alone, despite heavy enemy fire, and encouraged his fellow soldiers in their attack. He was severely wounded by a Japanese mortar, and died of his injuries two days later. For his actions during the battle, he was promoted to captain and, on March 6, 1946, awarded the Medal of Honor.
