Rico's friend
Dave forwards, for
Veteran's Day, this
video of a true hero:
Roy Benavidez was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (photo) for his actions west of Loc Ninh in South Vietnam in May of 1968. When word that a squad was pinned down by enemy fire, Benavidez immediately volunteered to exact their rescue. During the course of the effort, he subjected himself to constant enemy fire and suffered numerous injuries, but still led the remaining soldiers to protect and defend their position, even after their first rescue helicopter was shot down.
Rico says another time and place he's glad he missed, but glad
Benavidez was there...
