The Isle of Valor honors Menasha residents who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and gave the last full measure of devotion. Only two communities have had multiple residents receive the Congressional Medal of Honor: Menasha, Wisconsin, and Pueblo, Colorado. Menasha’s recipients are First Sergeant Elmer J. Burr and Staff Sergeant Kenneth E. Stumpf. Burr, of Company I, 3rd Battalion, 127th Infantry Regiment, 32nd Infantry Division, United States Army, was posthumously presented the Medal of Honor for his actions on 24 December 1942 near Buna, New Guinea, where during an attack he saw an enemy grenade strike near his company commander and threw himself upon it, smothering the explosion with his body. Stumpf, of Company C, 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army, was presented the Medal of Honor for his actions on 25 April 1967 near Duc Pho, Viet Nam, where as a squad leader on a search and destroy mission his squad eliminated two of three enemy bunker positions, he single-handedly destroyed the third, and his actions resulted in the rescue of three wounded squad members.
