108207	Private Stafford, United States Army, 186th Infantry Regiment, 41st Infantry Division, served in action at Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea. He emerges as one of Indiana's tallest heroes as he refused to fall. The Hoosier infantryman staggered as he came out of the swamp into tall grass. For three days his unit had been driving through the jungle heat, in clinging mud, chest-high swamp water and grass over six feet high.. Twenty-four miles lay behind in three days of horrifying conditions. Almost in sight was the Cyclops airdrome, the objective and then hopefully some rest. In a low jungle-fighting crouch Stafford pressed on. Three times he dropped but each time he struggled to his feet. His commanding sergeant told him to fall out but he shook his head no. Twice more he slumped to the ground but slowly got up. At the crest of a knoll the company paused and Stafford stretched out. Wild shouts and gunfire roused them as Japs were charging up the slope. After a while the gunfire died out momentarily but there was no rest. Then a second Jap attack came. Thirty more this time with bayonets fixed. Fire and reload! Fire and reload. The Japs dance before Stafford's eyes. At last the enemy was wiped out. Medics moved along the firing line attending to the wounded. They found Stafford unwounded but in a coma and in two hours he was dead from heat exhaustion or stroke. He truly was a Hoosier hero to be remembered. His home was in Indianapolis, Indiana and he is buried with honors in the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. He earned his Purple Heart and most of all the Silver Star.
