Hi, everyone -- so, in an embarrassing turn, I said "10 foot" when I meant "10 inch" That's the second time in a week that I've glitched like that. I am sorry! I will get more sleep. Ugh.
No biggie on your small brain fog. What is extraordinary is the sheer number of the 3rd Infantry Division that received the MOH: 61, including Audie Murphy.
Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday. Russell Dunham was a "typical" American Hero, in that, he didn't consider himself to be a hero. He was just doing his job and, everyone of his platoon should receive the Medal.
He must have been a very determined man, from his actions in battle to escaping from the enemy and surviving alone in the freezing cold, as he made it back to American lines.
I used to live on a street named Dunham and now, I wonder if it was named after this brave hero. I am going to do some research.
The men who execute these heroice achievements will never cease to amaze me, especially when their humility and sense of duty are taken into consideration.
I love these accounts of our MOH recipients. They are similar yet individually unique. Russell Durham is another humble hero who acknowledged his fellow soldiers and didn’t take all the credit to himself although he did deserve the lion’s share of credit for his extraordinary actions under pressure.
Thanks! The funny part is, even after someone told me it was a mistake, I kept reading it as if it said something reasonable like inches. Took me a second to realize I'd glitched on it. LOL.
His attack was called spectacular, and I suspect a few would have called reckless Regardless of what anyone calls it, he did the task and undoubtedly saved the lives of his comrades in that instance.
Yet he maintains that the men that served with him should have also received that Medal. Courage and determination to take the objective were on full display. Let's remember him.

I read 10 inches, no harm no fowl
❤❤
No worries, I just figured he was a giant

You are forgiven and I will always give you plenty of grace.
🇺🇸 “I don’t claim to be a hero,” he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter. “I had good men. They should have given it to the whole squad.” 🇺🇸
Another example of the courage and humility found in MoH winners.
Thanks, Tara.
Lest we forget! 🇺🇸
The 3rd infantry division paid one helluva price in WWll. So many men lost. The MOH winners carry their banner.

Another humble member of the greatest generation.
Great Story Tara,
A street peddler joins the Army, awarded the Medal of Honor.
For the sake of not repeating myself, however I will. Seems there’s a pattern with our National hero’s, humility is a trait in everyone.
Thank you Tara

What an inspiring story! Thanks, Tara

Obviously a giant among men.
Another inspiring story about ordinary American men in combat
Thank you.
I knew it was ten inches.

Thank you Mr Dunham. You are an American hero!
Thanks, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Happy New Year!
What a Generation of Hero's!
Thank you Tara for another great MOH 👍 👌 😊
Another great American Hero that only looked up in life and in a fight. Perhaps his courage came from above after all.
