William David Halyburton, Jr. Pharmacist ' s Mate Second Class United States Navy HA named for the late pharmacist ' s Mate Second Class William David Halyburton, Jr., USN. a native of Canton, North carolina, he was a graduate of new hanover high school in Wilmington. North Carolina. His enrollment at Davidson Col- lege, WHERE HE PLANNED TO PRE- PARE HIMSELF FOR THE MINISTRY, WAS PUT ASIDE TO GO INTO THE SER- VICE. For extraordinary hero- ism WHILE SERVING ON OKINAWA with the marine rlfle company, Second Battalion, Fifth Ma- rines, First Marine Division, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. It was on lO MAY 1945, UNDAUNTED BY THE DEADLY ACCURACY OF ENEMY COUNTERFIRE AS HIS UNIT PUSHED THE ATTACK THROUGH A STRATEGI- CALLY IMPORTANT DRAW THAT Halyburton unhesitatingly dashed across the draw and up the hill into an open, fireswept field where the company ad- vance squad was suddenly pinned down under a terrific concentration of mortar, ma- chine gun and sniper fire with the resultant severe casual- TIES. Moving steadily forward barrage, he reached the wounded Marine who lay far- thest AWAY AND WAS RENDERING FIRST AID WHEN HIS PATIENT WAS STRUCK A SECOND TIME BY AN EN- EMY bullet. Instantly placing himself in the direct line of fire, he shielded the fallen fighter with his own body and staunchly continued his ministrations although con- stantly menaced by the slash- ing fury of shrapnel and bul- lets falling on all sides, alert, determined, and com- pletely unselfish in his con- cern for the helpless ma- rine, he preserved in his ef- forts until he, himself, sus- tained mortal wounds and col- lapsed, heroically sacrificing himself that his comrade might live. Also named in Halyburton ' s honor are: a road at the national naval Medical Center, Bethesda. Maryland; Halyburton quar- ters at the Naval Station, Charleston, South Carolina: and Halyburton Barracks at the Naval Aerospace Medical Center, Pensacola. Florida.
