“I had to do some things that were probably not required of a medic....nobody would have thought anything if I hadn’t done it. But what I was doing that night was for the love of my fellow soldiers."
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.
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.

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

Humble, just doing his job, and valiant. Mr Hagemeister followed the tradition of nearly everyone who has earned the Medal of Honor.
I salute you!
Such brave, young heroes. Thank God for them.
Thank you, Tara.
A brave young man and certainly deserving of the MOH for his actions that day.
Another story of bravery in the face of the enemy that I had not heard of!
Thank you Tara!
Medal of Honor Monday always gets the start of my week off in the right direction. Sacrifice and service !
