阵亡108年后 美军向一战士兵 Isidor Olian 追授银星勋章与紫心勋章
美国陆军11月10日在纽约布鲁克林的汉密尔顿堡举行仪式，向一战士兵 Isidor Olian 追授银星勋章和紫心勋章。Olian 于1918年在法国战场阵亡，距今已108年。陆军第一步兵师11月14日发布了这一消息。
Olian 是纽约市居民，1918年7月入伍，同月即随军开赴法国，在第一步兵师第18步兵团K连服役。1918年10月2日，他在法国 Exermont 附近遭德军机枪火力击中身亡。第一步兵师绰号「大红一师」；据该师介绍，1918年10月的战斗中，该师在12天内伤亡超过8,500人。
仪式上，第一步兵师负责支援事务的副师长 Ian J. Lauer 上校将两枚勋章交到 Olian 的曾侄孙 Carl Young 手中。应家属要求，陆军随军牧师 Raziel Amar 中校在仪式上诵念了犹太教悼念逝者的经文《El Malei Rachamim》。
Young 的考证始于家中保存的一面曾覆盖 Olian 灵柩的旗帜。经过数十年查证其曾叔祖的服役记录、英勇事迹嘉奖令和授勋资格，陆军于2026年批准这两项迟到108年的荣誉：银星勋章表彰他的英勇作战，紫心勋章表彰他死于敌方火力。
第一步兵师表示，这场仪式是该师「传承之年」活动的一部分，意在把 Olian 这一代士兵的故事，与此后一代代官兵和军属的服役经历连接起来。

Army Posthumously Awards Silver Star and Purple Heart to WWI Soldier Isidor Olian, 108 Years After His Death
The U.S. Army posthumously presented the Silver Star and the Purple Heart to World War I Pvt. Isidor Olian at a ceremony on Nov. 10 at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, New York, 108 years after he was killed in France, the 1st Infantry Division announced on Nov. 14.
Olian, a New York City resident, entered active duty in July 1918 and deployed to France later that month, serving with Company K, 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division — the "Big Red One." German machine-gun fire killed him near Exermont, France, on Oct. 2, 1918. According to the division, it sustained more than 8,500 casualties in 12 days during the fighting of October 1918.
Col. Ian J. Lauer, the division's deputy commanding officer for support, presented the medals to Carl Young, Olian's great-grandnephew. At the family's request, Army Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Raziel Amar recited El Malei Rachamim, the Jewish prayer for the dead.
Young's research began with the flag that had covered Olian's coffin, preserved by the family. After decades of work documenting his great-granduncle's service, his citation for gallantry and his eligibility, the Army approved the awards in 2026: the Silver Star for gallantry in action, and the Purple Heart for his death as a result of enemy action.
The division said the ceremony was part of its "Year of Legacy," connecting Olian's story to the generations of soldiers and families whose service has shaped the Army since.
