Thank you Tara. Mr. Hagemeister did exactly what an American Hero would do and he earned a MOH for his actions. What a brave and resourceful young man. Thank God for people like Mr. Hagemeister.

I was a US Navy Corpsman at exactly the same time as when this action occurred and I would hope to have been as courageous and disciplined as Mr. Hagemeister, were I in his shoes.

You serve. You don't refuse it. Thankful he served and thankful his character would not allow him to refuse it.

When he said: "what I was doing that night was for the love of my fellow soldiers", he showed the true meaning of being a MoH recipient! What a HERO...and I'm glad he returned home after such a horrible experience! We need more men with this spirit.
