In my experience, when men, or women for that matter, spend 24×7 with their fellow soldiers, little goes unknown. Obviously, he had the respect and acceptance of his fellow soldiers. What a brave and determined man.
This is a new story, and love the Medal of Honor stories of our heroes. This one is exceptional. It was know if you had hearing loss, you could serve in an office, but not in the field. What a brave man he was to do the extraordinary - still serve as with a lesser rank and save the men he served with. Thank you for a new story today, Tara (or one I missed) as this was a wonderful story, not even mentioning a song in his honor. That must have served as a call to all who thought their disabilities would disqualify them.
After reading previous TDIH posts of a larger than life legend in the Revolutionary War and a larger than life legend of of smaller stature it occurs to me that Large or Small we treasure them all and in our eyes they all walk tall.
Rodger Young must have been an inspiration to many in WW2 and maybe after. I wonder how widely his hearing and eyesight were known at the time. Mr. Young was certainly larger than life and deserving of the MOH. Thank you Tara and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

It's hard to tell, but his eyesight and hearing were deteriorating over time, so my guess is that people kind of knew, but kind of didn't?
