[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3107065, member: 42"] First USAF MOH since Vietnam. TSgt Chapman was a Combat Controller attached to a SEAL team during the famous battle of Robert's Ridge in 2002. He was mistakenly left for dead by the SEALs in the heat of battle, regained consciousness, and fought the enemy, alone and wounded, for over an hour before finally being killed when he attempted to provide cover fire for an arriving helicopter that had come under enemy fire. He was previously awarded a posthumous Air Force Cross but evidence that came to light after the fact led to a push for the MOH. I'm haunted by thoughts of what his last hour of life must have been like...waking up alone, wounded, cold, and surrounded by the enemy. RIP Sarge.
