Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Justice Chambers, commanding 3d Battalion, 25th Marines, earned the Medal of Honor for his heroic leadership on the first day of Imo Jima,  when, despite horrendous casualties, he led his battalion in securing the high ground around the landing beaches. Honor and remember him!

Chambers was wounded by machine gun fire on February 23 and medically evacuated. President Truman presented Colonel Chambers with the Medal of Honor on November 1, 1950.
