| 62k | While serving with the 4th Marine Division during action against enemy Japanese forces on Roi Island, Kawajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands on Feb. 1, 1944, PFC Anderson entered a shell crater occupied by several other marines. He was preparing to throw a grenade at an enemy position when it slipped from his hands and rolled toward the men at the bottom of the hole. With insufficient time to retrieve the armed weapon and throw it, he fearlessly chose to sacrifice himself and save his companions by hurling his body upon the grenade and taking full impact of the explosion. | Bill Gonyo | |

| 41k | Published photo of the Anderson with the caption "Increasing speed to avoid shellfire from Hon Ci Island, North Vietnam," however, this is not the Anderson. The identity of the ship may be the USS Lloyd Thomas (DD-764). If you know for sure, please let us know. The photo was taken during Operation Linebacker in 1972. The Task Unit had a LAMPS helicopter assigned. While the ships were engaging shore batteries the helicopter crew took photos of a ship under fire that they misidentified as ANDERSON. Circa 1972, US Navy photo. | Joe Radigan | |
