Origin of school name:

Billy Lane Lauffer

Birth: Oct. 20, 1945
Death: Sept. 21, 1966

Vietnam War Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. He served as a Private First Class, Rifleman, in the United States Army in Company C, 2d Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Air Cavalry Division. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for action on September 21, 1966 near Bon Son, Binh Dinh Province, Republic of Vietnam. His citation reads in part "Seeing this and his wounded comrades helpless in the open, Pfc. Lauffer rose to his feet and charged the enemy machine-gun positions, firing his weapon and drawing the enemy's attention. Keeping the enemy confused and off balance, his one-man assault provided the crucial moments for the wounded point man to crawl to a covered position, the squad to move the exposed litter patients to safety, and his comrades to gain more advantageous positions. Lauffer was fatally wounded during his selfless act of courage and devotion to his fellow soldiers." In honor of him, Billy Lane Lauffer Middle School was built in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona.
