He was also awarded the '''Purple Heart''' for wounds received in action.<br/>On February 19 1945, Sergeant Cole led his machine gun section ashore in the D-Day assault of Iwo Jima. Moving forward with the initial assault wave, a hail of fire from two enemy emplacements halted his section's advance. Sergeant Cole personally destroyed them with hand grenades. His unit continued to advance until pinned down for a second time by enemy fire from three Japanese gun emplacements. One of these emplacements was silenced by Cole's machine guns. When his machine guns jammed, armed only with a pistol and one hand grenade, Sergeant Cole made a one-man attack against the two remaining gun emplacements. Twice he returned to his own lines for additional grenades and continued the attack under fierce enemy fire until he had succeeded in destroying the enemy strong points.<br/>		'''NAMESAKE''' - Sergeant Darrell Samuel Cole, USMC (July 20 1920 – February 19 1945).<br/>During the battle for Saipan (1943), PFC Cole was awarded the '''Bronze Star''' Medal for his resolute leadership, indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious determination in the face of terrific opposition.
