Major Julio Chiaramonte, US Army, fought in the Battle of Los Negros during World War II. On February 29, 1944, Major Chiaramonte observed the movements of two Japanese soldiers who were fifteen feet away from Brig. Gen. William C. Chase, commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. Chiaramonte killed the enemy soldiers with his tommy gun (Thompson Submachine Gun). On March 2 of the same year, he led a small squadron toward a hill where a Japanese sniper was firing on the compound. His squadron was successful in eliminating the sniper.

On April 1, 1944, Chiaramonte was awarded the Silver Star for his actions on Los Negros, and in October of the same year, he received a Bronze Star for his efforts in the Admiralty Islands campaign.

Life

Early in his life, Chiaramonte was a boxer in Gallup, New Mexico.[1] Chiaramonte was an alumnus of the New Mexico Military Institute and Santa Clara University[2] where he played football and was on the boxing team.[3]
