    I served with MSG Benavidez after Vietnam. He was a humble, professional man who always looked out for fellow soldiers. A genuine patriot! RIP, Roy.

    This man also at the end of his life would visit other veterans on Veterans Day in Audie L Murphy VA Medical Center in San Antonio. He was a humble hero. I believe Ft. Hood should be renamed for this man.

      Renaming Fort Hood in honor of this man is an excellent idea. I intend to vocalize your idea to my friends on Facebook and with your permission state that I received the idea from your comment.

      I believe that all of the statues erected in honor of soldiers from the Civil War, North and South, be displayed at Gettysburg positioned in their representative location of the forces they had joined and create a singular site where Americans could visit and learn the importance and profundity of their sacrifice from their own perspective.

    This is what is called a true American hero.
    His Courage and love country and fellow soldier is beyond words.
    Having never served I can only imagine what he speaks of , but if ever I was called I want to serve with Americans just like him.
    For him I repeat for him his motto of Green Berets
    De Oppressor Liber.
    To you Sir and all others that served.
    Thankyou for my Freedom , It's because of you service and Sacrafice that I can sit here and write this to you , I'm forever grateful and in your debt.
    Best Regards Always
    Daniel Hutchinson.

    I watched on Mr.Ballen's site here at You Tube a more detailed history of Mr.Benavidez. It is by far the most extraordinary story I have ever heard of a soldier's singular act of courage in any battle , anywhere at any time in history. Thank you for your service Mr.Benavidez. If any of us could be half the human being you were we should consider our life to be an honorable and successful achievement.

MSG Roy Benavidez's story is incredible , amazing and makes me feel so insignificant because I didn't earn the freedom, liberties and rights I enjoy. He and all others that served this great nation have my utmost appreciation , respect, and my sincere welcome home soldiers wishes. God bless each and all and the USA..

    Not to be snarky. In all seriousness, his story sounds like Forest Gump. The Vietnam scene where he rescued Bubba and Lt. Dan. His friend was black, he work with officers he saved everyone. Was Roy’s story the inspiration and how Forest got the MOH? Roys story brought me to tears. True American.
