A GREAT man who fought for others under horrendous circumstances who saved others and eventually was saved!

Thank you, Tara!

This is the American spirit, distilled, and purified. These are actions driven by faith, and the will to serve. Actions that are the stuff of legend, dismissed by the one who did them as nothing heroic, just his duty.

Do you ever wonder what the men that were saved are doing or did? It is like the lord put him on this earth to save them and I wonder how it changed the savee lives, what they did with what was given back to them.

Thank you Tara. The MOH Mondays are my favorite. I love the manner that you present out Heroes. Roy Benavides was the best and bravest man I ever learned of. And his actions are truly the materials for a movie.

I was a Navy Corpsman serving at the same time as Roy Benavides earned his Medal. I would like to think that I would have acted in the same way but it is hard to believe that any mortal man could live through such horrible circumstances.
