Sen. Sessions commented on the passing of Medal of Honor recipient, Col. Ola Lee Mize: “Colonel Ola Lee Mize is a native of Marshall County and an American hero. He embodied the ideals of service and courage and made our state proud. He is perhaps best remembered by his defense of Outpost Harry when it was attacked during the Korean War. Col. Mize bravely protected injured comrades and held opposition forces at bay, valiantly risking his life for others. For this intrepid gallantry, Col. Mize earned a Medal of Honor, which remains on display in the Guntersville Museum. Mary and I mourn his passing and send our condolences to his wife, Betty, and his family. Alabama has lost a true hero and his legend will grow. I was honored to get to know him. He was a remarkable man whose courage on the battlefield extended to a determination to do the right thing in all aspects of life.”
