  • This is the story of one man who survived ‘six hours in hell’ and rescued his comrades against overwhelming forces in the Vietnam War.
    As President Reagan said: "If the story of his heroism were a movie script, you would not believe it".
    Master Sergeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez aka 'Tango Mike Mike'

    Thanks for posting this amazing video on my dad. I think it's important for our youth to have videos like this that they can relate to. My father dedicated his life to speaking to our youth, our future leaders of America. This is a video for all ages to enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. -Yvette Benavidez Garcia, Roy's daughter and author of the children's book, "Tango Mike Mike: The Story of Roy P. Benavidez."

    I met him when I was young, my Mom, my older brother, and I were at WOMAC hospital on Fort Bragg, I have forgotten why we were there, but my mom could only carry one of us. Then MSGT Roy Benavidez came over, he was there for a check-up and carried me on his shoulders and bought us burgers from McDonald's. That man is a true hero and I'm proud to have met him along with the other heroes I've met in my childhood. The world needs more heroes like him. The hero isn't the fastest, the strongest, the smartest, or the best looking. The true heroes are the men and women who no matter the trials, do what they know is right. That's what we need, real heroes.

    I recently learned that my best friends dad was a green beret circa Korea/Vietnam.
    My friend recently put two and two together after looking at old photos. His dad has never said a word other than he was in the army.
    He is also Mexican/American and also an orphan.
    I pray and hope that he eventually tells his story and that it is recorded

    Just walking again after a spinal injury that is supposed to put you in a wheelchair for life is amazing but qualifying for special forces after an injury like that is beyond words. The fact that he survived about 15 different injuries that would all be fatal on a lesser man afterwards and was the last one in the chopper and still had the strength to spit in the doctors face and recover makes me a bit ashamed I let myself be retired from the military due to just a TBI and shattered fibula. This man is a true hero.
