I have seen his picture and MOH citation on the walls of several installations I had been to.

Truly a BAMF. I've heard this story many times, and IIRC the MOH citation is read on one of the magpul videos. It still gives me chills every time.

ETA, it's also a amazing he was still in the army at that point, he was supposed to be medically discharged. He stepped on a mine in his first tour in Vietnam, and he was supposed to never walk again.

Pretty neat story I had never heard before.

The comment about "If they'd made it a movie no one would believe it" , that was before today's movies are what they are.
