Wounded and under relentless fire, he ran back into the fight to save another. Moments later, he chose to give his life so that three others could live.
When his unit was pinned down on a frozen hillside, he charged alone into the enemy’s fire. Three times he climbed the hill under fire, turning overwhelming resistance into victory.
When another unit faltered under overwhelming fire, he stepped forward without orders. Wounded again and again, he fought alone deep inside the enemy position until silence fell.
When the only path forward was a narrow, fire-swept ridge, he chose to lead the way himself. Wounded again and again, he fought on until the enemy position was broken.
When his battalion stalled under deadly crossfire, he chose to carry orders himself. The next day, he led the assault that shattered enemy resistance and turned the battle.
Wounded, surrounded, and vastly outnumbered, he refused to yield. Standing atop a burning vehicle, he turned chaos into survival and defeat into victory.
Outnumbered thirteen to two, he attacked without hesitation. In a single ferocious engagement, he shattered an entire enemy formation.
