From April 7, 2021, 6 WBRC "Tennessee World War II hero passes away at 99" by Peter Zampa/Gray DC.
Charles Coolidge, 99, died in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He was one of the last two living WW II Medal of Honor recipients. His death Tuesday April 6 serves as a stark reminder that the Greatest Generation is getting smaller every day.
The Charles Coolidge Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga confirmed the sad news.
Coolidge was one of 472 Medal of Honor winners during the war. He received it for fighting off dozens of German soldiers to save his own men.
