"served aboard a Landing Craft Infantry vessel during four amphibious assaults, during World War II.[1][2][3][4] His vessel, the USS LCI-90, participated in the invasion of French North Africa, Sicily and Anzio in 1943, and in the Invasion of Normandy in 1944. It was during the Invasion of Normandy that Trump earned a Silver Star. He volunteered to venture onto the Omaha Beach and anchor a safety line for the 200 soldiers his vessel carried to follow ashore. Trump had to make his way past heavily mined beach fortifications, while under heavy enemy fire. His helmet was creased by a German bullet."

I meant to use the link you found, William Trump is a very honorable man, surely has no connection to our foolish President.
