CARROLLTON — A new military display honoring Sergeant First Class William “Bill” Howland is now featured at the Greene County Historical Society museum, coinciding with the upcoming Greene County Days celebration on Sept. 5 and 6, 2025. Howland, an infantry soldier from Mozier in Calhoun County, served during the Korean War after being deployed to Japan. When the conflict began on June 25, 1950, he was sent to fight along the 38th parallel in central Korea. His service earned him numerous medals, including the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart, both awarded on March 9, 1953, and authorized by the President of the United States. The Bronze Star, the fourth-highest individual award for valor in the U.S. Armed Forces, recognized Howland for “heroism in ground combat.” The Purple Heart was awarded “for wounds received in action” on Sept. 23, 1950. These medals, along with other patches and honors, are displayed in a dedicated wall case at
