2nd Lt Lambert V. Wieser graduated from St. Mary´s Parochial School and assisted his father on the farm until 1938 when he went to St. Charles, Illinois, where he was employed for four years.

He enlisted in the on 1 May 1942 and was sent overseas in Septembe, 1943.

He was mortally wounded in 11 October 1944 when his tank was knocked out by enemy bazooka fire and died a day later.

He was the second son of the family to give his life while in the service of his country in WWII. His brother, T/Sgt Richard Wieser, was killed in action in France on 17 July 1944 and is buried at Normandy Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France.

The citation of his first Silver Star states: For gallantry in action on 21 August 1944, in France. Lt Wieser was serving as a tank commander with a tank destroyer unit engaged in bitter fighting with enemy forces. During a critical moment in the fighting, an enemy gun scored a direct hit on a friendly tank. After putting the enemy gun out of action with a well placed shot, Lt Wieser fearlessly moved his tank to the crippled one, which was now aflame, and with complete disregard for his personal safety, mounted the blazing tank in order to rescue the occupants. Finding all had been evacuated with the exception of the gunner, who was already dead, Lt Wieser then proceeded to extinguish the blase with the fire fighting apparatus at hand. The perseverance, personal bravery, and heroic devotion to duty displayed by Lt Wieser are outstanding.

The second Silver Star was awarded posthumously. The citation stated: 2nd Lt Lambert V. Wieser for gallantry in action on 10 October 1944, in Germany. Lt Wieser distinguished himself while leading a columm of tanks against an enemy held town. While crossing an intersection, Lt Wieser's tank was fired on by an assault gun. Without hesitation, he turned his tank about and advanced on the gun until his tank was only fifty yards away and aflame. Successfully evacuating his crew and himself under fire, he took command of another tank and continued the battle. Lt Wieser was mortally wounded in the ensuing engagement with the enemy, but his fine courage and indomitable fighting spirit will always be remembered by those who fought beside him.
