Medal of Honor recipient, Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez. He had 37 puncture wounds, exposed intestine, broken jaw, and eyes caked in blood. He was pronounced dead until he spit in the face of a doctor who was zipping him up in a body bag.

4. Same day USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was lost with all hands

On May 22, 1968 just about all US Navy ships and submarines on the east coast cast off and searched the continental shelf and beyond for the sub found years later near the Azores at about 10,000 feet.

In 1968 there was a lot of dying going on.

Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez is to be admired.

5. IN the running

To have a Base named after him. Erasing some Confederate Traitor from our books.

6. I'm not dead yet!

8. The son of Mexican immigrants.

Today’s Reich-wing Republicans would HATE HIM and try to get him DEPORTED. (Lookin’ at you, Stephen Miller!)

9. Hits close to home

My grandfather woke up with a few bodies on top of him and a toe tag. This was on a porch in France in WWI after a mustard gas attack. He rarely talked about it
