A true hero!

Wow. Jay Vargas was a the youngest of four Marines in his family and he was awarded the MOH for extreme bravery and leadership during an extended series of battles. His ability to fight and to lead his men undoubtedly saved a number of lives while he personally knocking out enemy positions.

Colonel Vargas wears his Medal with pride for his fallen men, and he is a true American Hero. May God bless him and all who serve or have served to protect this great nation. Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday.

Another amazing Medal of Honor hero! It’s hard to imagine all they went through for the USA, but also for other countries. Captain Vargas was typical of all the MOH recipients you’ve highlighted, Tara. Like Vargas they were outstanding leaders. They went ahead. They didn’t follow behind. Always look forward to Medal of Honor Mondays.

Wow! Captain Vargas was beyond human during this battle. I am in awe as I cannot comprehend how a person can do so much in these circumstances. Glad he did as many benefits and saved lives were the outcome. God bless them all. Thank you Tara.
