More Medal of honor Heroes:
- PFC John Barnes- Barnes manned a machine gun after its crew had been killed. He then eliminated 9 enemy soldiers who were assauting his position. While retreving more ammo, Barne saw that a grenade had been thrown near some severly wounded comrades. He emmediatley dove on the grenade ending his own life, but saved many.
- PFC Carlos Lozada- Lozada stayed behind and poured deadly machine-gun fire on an advancing enemy force. This allowed his company to safely withdraw. When surrounded Lazada jumped from his covered position and fired his M-60 from the hip. This provided further protection for fellow soldiers. He was mortally wounded.
- Major Charles J. Watters Chalain– Watters repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire in oreder to aid fallen men outside the premimeter. Five times he did this. Five times fellow troops tried to hold him back. He persisted in aiding and carrying the wounded back to safety. On one of his trips, he was hit and killed.
