Fighting Spirit And Daring Leadership

His Medal of Honor citation reads “Second Lieutenant Baker’s fighting spirit and daring leadership were an inspiration to his men and exemplify the highest traditions of the Armed Forces.” He was not a fighter only in professional life but in personal life too. He heroically battled against Cancer in 2004. But unfortunately, the disease returned!  

Resting In Peace

Baker kissed his final goodbye to the world on July 13, 2010. He was 90 years old at the time of his death. Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia became the resting place of Berker where his fellow servicemen were also buried.
