Bryant H. Womack

Bryant Homer Womack[1] (May 12, 1931 – March 12, 1952) was a United States Army soldier during the Korean War.

Womack was born and raised in Mill Spring, in Polk County, North Carolina.

[1] Aged 20 at his death, Womack was buried at Lebanon Methodist Church in his hometown of Mill Spring.

Womack went immediately to their aid, although this necessitated exposing himself to a devastating hail of enemy fire, during which he was seriously wounded.

While he was aiding 1 man, he was again struck by enemy mortar fire, this time suffering the loss of his right arm.

The last man to withdraw, he walked until he collapsed from loss of blood, and died a few minutes later while being carried by his comrades.
