George K. Sisler

George Kenton Sisler (September 19, 1937 – February 7, 1967) was a United States Army intelligence officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

[1] Sisler also worked as an Alaskan smokejumper to fight wildfires in remote parts of the state.

[1] After attending Arkansas State University and joining the Sigma Pi fraternity, Sisler was commissioned in the Army from his birth city of Dexter, Missouri, in 1964.

On that day, when his unit came under heavy enemy attack in the Republic of Vietnam, Sisler organized the defense, rescued a wounded soldier, and single-handedly attacked an enemy position before being mortally wounded.

The ASU ROTC department's Ranger Challenge team is named Sisler's Raiders in his honor.
