Timeline
Private First Class Albert Earnest Schwab (July 17, 1920 – May 7, 1945) was a United States Marine who was posthumously awarded the United States' highest military honor — the Medal of Honor — for his heroic actions during the Battle of Okinawa.
Albert Earnest Schwab was born on July 17, 1920, in Washington, D.C. Early in his life, his family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he attended local schools, graduating from Tulsa High School in 1937.
After one semester at the University of Tulsa, Schwab went to work for an oil company.
Inducted into the Marine Corps on May 12, 1944, he was sent for recruit training at the San Diego, California.
After graduation he went home on ten days of leave; the only time his family was to see him in the Marine uniform.
After this, Schwab was sent to the 2nd Training Battalion at Camp Pendleton, California.
In November he was transferred to the 13th Replacement Draft and on November 12, 1944, departed for overseas duty aboard the USS Wharton (AP-7).
He joined the 1st Marine Division at Pavuvu Island, in the Russells, and was assigned to Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.
On December 24, 1944, Pvt Schwab was promoted to private first class and in February 1945, he, along with the rest of the division, embarked for maneuvers which eventually led to the shores of Okinawa, Japan on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945.
Private First Class Schwab was a flame thrower operator with Headquarters Company.
When that company was pinned down in a valley on May 7, by the withering fire of a machine gun coming from a ridge high to the company's front, Schwab scaled the cliff in the face of heavy fire and attacked the gun with his flamethrower.
Quickly demolishing the position and its crew, his company was able to occupy the ridge.
Almost immediately, a second machine gun opened fire inflicting more casualties on the unit.
Although he had not had time to replenish his supply of fuel, PFC Schwab unhesitatingly advanced on the second gun and succeeded in eliminating it before a final burst caught him in the left hip, inflicting fatal wounds.
Just five days short of completing one year of United States Marine Corps service, on May 7, 1945, PFC Schwab singlehandedly destroyed two important Japanese machine gun positions during a critical stage of battle, allowing his pinned down unit to advance.
The Medal of Honor was presented to PFC Schwab's three-year-old son at Boulder Park in Tulsa on Memorial Day 1946 by Rear Admiral J.J. Clark, USN, Commander of the Naval Air Basic Training Command, Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas.
The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR posthumously to PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ALBERT E. SCHWAB UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RESERVE
for service as set forth in the following CITATION:
Private First Class Schwab's body was returned to the United States and buried with full military honors at Memorial Park, Tulsa on February 27, 1949.
