Sorry.
Note, he is not only charging 2 bunkers but climbing uphill to do so.
Just amazing.

This would be the first Air Force recipient of the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. They’ve been a bit stingy with that medal, in my opinion. Only four people in the Iraq war have been recipients for example, and all were posthumous. I think the criteria should be strict but not quite that strict.

They could not defeat him. All they could do was kill him.

This is honestly the first time I have ever seen video of an actual attack that later brought not one but two MOH awards. I am in awe of the bravery and heroism exhibited by their actions.

This one should work, if not, copy the link, paste it into the search engine box, and read the cached version.
