What a wonderful story of another Super American Hero. Mr. Silvestre Herrera may have been a foreigner when he joined the Army in WW2 but his heart was American through and through.
The bravery of Mr. Herrera is without doubt and his actions in France left no doubt of his allegiance to his adopted country.
God bless MOH awardee, Sgt. Herrera and may God continue to bless all who have served or currently serve this great nation. Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday.
These stories of everyday guys going to war, doing extraordinary feats and returning home to continue their everyday lives fills me with wonder. Thank you, sir for your service. May you rest in peace.
Silvestre Herrera was too brave to let little things like mines and machine guns deter him ! He was a hero for sure and it’s miraculous he survived ! Definitely a man of action.
Thank you, Tara, for another story of real heroism that saved the lives of his fellow troopers and helped win the battle for the freedom of others around the world! He didn’t have to go but he went!
My disability is very minor, compared to this. I deal with balance issues from mild cerebral palsy. He was right; we don't want anyone to feel sorry for us, so we just keep going!
Thank you Silvestre Herrera for your bravery and heroism. So glad that you were able to live a long, quiet life surrounded by a loving family. Your country honors you.
I cannot imagine such bravery and even more firing at the enemy with both legs blown off!! There is no way to describe such love of country, fellow soldiers. And like all MoH recipients he didn't think much of it!!!
Mr. Herrera was more patriotic than some natural born Americans. He gave so much for his adopted country. He certainly deserved both the Medal of Honor and the highest medal for valor from Mexico. Perhaps the American citizenship was a higher honor than even the medal he received. Another humble hero not to be forgotten.
The humility of this kind of man, a remarkable hero, is humbling to say the least. I certainly am challenged by his humility after such a great personal sacrifice and heroism. Many thanks to PFC Sylvestre Herrera. May he rest in peace.

Such documentation is much appreciated. Well done!
Look at Herrera’s smile. THAT’S America…
Others have said it far better than I could! God bless them! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, may he rest in peace. Amen
What a wonderful story of heroism and patriotism. Thank you Tara!
Thank you Tara for an awesome MoH story today. It is one of your best. Long life that began and ended humbly. Not many like him today. RIP!
