Native North Carolinian, Corporal Jerry K. Crump, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for actions during the Korean War. Crump shot at least 17 Korean soldiers in defense of American lines and saved four fallen soldiers, dragging them from the field, into his fox hole for protection. When the enemy threw a grenade into Crump's fox hole, Crump rolled on the grenade, shielding the wounded soldiers he previously saved.
