“Those of us that wear the Medal of Honor know that there are so many other soldiers, airmen, Marines that have done acts that just weren’t recognized because there were no witnesses left,” he said in an interview. “So I am very proud to be able to wear the Medal of Honor for all those that performed deeds far greater than I did.”
When reading about the humility of the MOH recipients, how could anyone not and respect them? I wonder how many of us that served our Nation who didn’t face what these brave servicemen did, would have performed as they did? Perhaps we will never know.
As so many in the past, S/Sgt Dix was humble about his heroic deeds in Viet Nam. America owes so much to such men and the sacrifices they made for our country. I can only imagine what it was like during that time but I really appreciate his bravery and service. I know those he helped to rescue feel the same way. We, as a country, owe so much to such brave soldiers and I hope they all were recognized for what they did for us.
I currently live 30 miles from the Home of Heroes and I have visited the commemorative çenter honoring those 4 brave men with statues of their likeness and inscriptions of their deeds on many occasions.
Pueblo is a steel town and the community is made of laborers who are proud and patriotic.
SSgt Drew Dix is definitely a hero in Pueblo and as he said, he proud wears MOH for all who have performed heroic and brave actions, equal to the ones for which he was recognized.
God bless the men and women who serve or have served this great nation.
I was a Navy Corpsman of the same time period as Drew Dix unbelievable heroic actions and I am proud of my rather mundane service.
Staff Sgt. Drew Dix did say what we try to convey to honor him, and so many others that probably should have been MOH awardees. We are thankful for these individuals and their commitment to their fellows and the responsibility that they took on.
Another humble hero! Staff Sergeant Dix repeated what many MOH recipients had spoken before him. He wore the medal for the many who did heroic deeds, but never received recognition because there were no witnesses to tell the story. Pueblo, Colorado should be very proud that they are the “Home of Heroes”.
What a fabulous way to start my week. Another hero brought to us by Tara. I would never have know this man's story and the heroic actions he took to save others. I wonder what happened with Maggie? What became of her and also Sgt. Dix? I would love to learn what they did later. Thank you as always Tara...wonderful story
She got married to someone in the military about a year later. I'm not sure after that, but she was available to do an interview about these events several years ago.
From all that I've read, the Tet Offensive was a victory for our side, but the press destroyed any thoughts of that and turned our victory into a defeat. Stories of this nature prove the bravery and love our soldiers (and all military personnel) showed in this distressing war. Thank you, S|Sgt Dix!!!

Amazing American trait.

This strikes me; Sometimes he worked with others, but on at least one occasion, he made a solo assault on a building to rescue two civilian Filipinos.
“We spent our night praying,” one of them later said, “giving thanks to God first—second to Mr. Drew Dix, the smiling brave man of America.”
What a tribute to our heroes. Thank you Mr. Dix!
Absolutely So 👍 💯 👍 💯 👍

A humble man who laid his all on the line for his fellow soldiers!
We must NEVER FORGET what it took to form our nation and KEEP IT!
Thank you, Tara, for this story of bravery under fire!
As always a Great MOH Monday. Thanks Tara 🎯 😊
The courage and humility driving their survivor guilt must be overwhelming. I do not have the words to express my appreciation.
🇺🇲 An amazing story, with the same courage and humility that seems to be the standard for MoH winners! 🇺🇸
👍👍👍

What a man, who kept going, saving others. I know there are men and women who do this hard work when needed. I thank God for them each and every day.
