Robert was born March 15, 1924 in Mauston, Wisconsin, the son of Herbert and Rhessa (Pigott) Roth. In February of 1943 he was inducted into the U.S. Army. This following article was written about Robert and quoted from Major General Leonard Wing in 1945. “Private First Class Robert M. Roth, Infantry, United States Army. For gallantry in action against the enemy at Luzon, Philippine Islands on 12 May 1945. Private Roth, moving with a patrol to a forward position through a dry stream-bed bordered by thick brush encountered fire from an enemy ambush. The patrol dispersed quickly and in scrambling over the streambank toward a knoll, a machine gun was dropped. Without regard for his own life, Private Roth ran back, picked up the gun and set it up on the forward slope of the knoll firing at the enemy until the rest of the group was able to get to the other side of the hill. Only when all were safely out, and the enemy fire had diminished due to his steady and effective fire, did Private Roth cease firing and rejoin his group with the gun. Private Roth’s outstanding courage, expert manipulation of fire and fidelity undoubtedly was responsible for the safety and escape of many of his comrades.” Roth served two hitches in the army during World War 2 and the Korean War. During World War 2 he served in the 43rd Infantry Division in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater as a heavy machine gunner. During that war he received a Silver Star, Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts of which one was pinned on him by First lady Eleanor Roosevelt, the Asiatic-Pacific Theater Service Medal, the Philippine Liberation Ribbon and four overseas service bars.
