Dwight Johnson was the only tank driver to receive The Medal of Honor for bravery in combat, strangely not with his tank that he exited when it stopped . Under devastating fire, he fought the enemy with a .45 caliber pistol, advanced to arm himself with a sub machine gun, brought a wounded tank driver to safety, remounted his own immobilized tank where he bravely and skillfully engaged the tank's externally-mounted .50 caliber machine gun until the situation was brought under control.
