On this day in 1997, Vernon Baker of St. Maries, Idaho, became the only living African-American World War II soldier to receive the prestigious Congressional Medal of Honor. The honor was denied to Black soldiers in WWII. In 1945 Baker, a First Lieutenant in the segregated U.S. Army, successfully attacked a German stronghold at Castle Aghinolfi. The mission helped drive the German forces out of northern Italy. Baker died on July 13, 2010, in St. Maries, Idaho. | Idaho Experience
