Medal of Honor: Raymond G. Murphy – U.S. Marine Corps – Korea – 1953
Alone. Unordered. Unstoppable. Three pillboxes. One rifleman. The road to Cassino broken open.
Outnumbered four to one. He ran through fire, rode a tank into hell, and paid the price so others could live.
Wounded once. Then again. He kept going—until a third wound knocked him from a tank.
One Marine. One shattered perimeter. He stood alone—and held the line.
A split-second choice. A lifetime of courage. He shielded his brothers with his own body—and lived.
Blinded, bleeding, and still leading from the front. Even without sight, he drove the attack forward until the objective was won.
