I met Roy Banavidez at the NCO Club at Pope AFB in 1980.

Great man, humble as could be.

I met Roy Banavidez at the NCO Club at Pope AFB in 1980.

I was lucky enough to have served with him and knew him before he won the MoH.

What that little blurb didn't tell you was that the action took place in Laos,and Roy wasn't even supposed to have been on the medievac helicopter for the Bright Light mission. The people on the recon team that was surrounded and being overran were friends of his,he heard what was happening over the radio as the launch site people were prepping for the mission,and just grabbed a medic's bag and jumped on the dustoff chopper armed only with a Bowie Knife strapped to his belt. He didn't even have a canteen or a handgun.

Nor did it say he got burned rescuing the pilot or co-pilot from the crashed helicopter because it was burning when he got there. IIRC,he also dragged the door gunners away from the flames.

He was wounded a total of 36 times that day,and the very last time was when a NVA run up from behind the helicopter he was trying to get in,and stuck Roy with a bayonet. That was also the last enemy killed by Roy that day. When the slick too off to return to the launch site after the door gunner jumped out and threw Roy into it,that last NVA was laying dead on the ground with Roy's Bowie Knife sticking out of his chest.

It also doesn't mention that while serving in a conventional army airborne unit years before going to Viet Nam he was seriously hurt in a parachute accident that should have put him out of the army on medical retirement,but he fought to remain on active duty,and later volunteered for and completed Special Forces training. Nor does it mention that he had been seriously wounded on a previous tour in Viet Nam with Special Forces.

Despite all that,he really was a quiet and modest man that was always smiling and joking.

You just can't tell the character of a man or the level of his determination by looking at him. Roy just flat didn't have any "quit" in him.

=============================================

God bless Roy Benavidez and we honor his memory, and great integrity.

The nation he fought for sadly no longer exist.

Yes,it does. Maybe not at the level it used to exist,but there are pockets of honor out there,scattered all over the country.

Unfortunately there seems to be none of them in DC or any state capitals.

any state capitals.

In Illinois, they voted to impeach three out of the last four governors. I think they may have a little guts over there in Springfield, Illinois. They recognized the corruption and got rid of it quickly. ;)
