Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday and Thank you for remembering Roger Donlon right after his passing, as an old man and an American Hero.
The story of the terrific battle in Vietnam, for which Mr. Donlon was awarded his MOH is one of an amazing leader who kept his men in the action for five hours despite his own terrible wounds. He was able to survive, despite overwhelming odds. Rest in peace, American Hero. Thank you for doing more than your fair share.
Donlon wanted to be prepared. On the night of July 5, he reportedly told his team sergeant: “Get everyone buttoned up tight tonight, Pop. The VC are coming. I can feel it. I want everyone ready.”
How intuitive to read the temperature of the people in the village. Thank you Roger Donlon for your keen sense of a forthcoming battle and your preparation that saved the villagers and minimized the casualties of your men.
Major Donlon was one of the greatest examples of being a MOH recipient. What more can I say? At the risk of his own life even while being severely wounded himself, continued to show leadership, protect his comrades and perform duties that where extremely dangerous instead of risking the lives of the men under his command.
Another honorable hero! In the truest sense Roger Donlon was a brave soldier. He gave his all and deserved the recognition given to him. Many like Donlon who survived the war became ill later on. We’ve lost some dear friends because of things they were exposed to during their time in Vietnam. We will never forget their service.
Thank you Tara for bringing the acts of heroism by Captain Donlon to us this morning. What a wonderful tribute to highlight his actions on the battle field.
