Half-Hispanic, half-Yaqui Indian, and an orphan, Roy Benavidez
fought his way out of poverty and bigotry to serve with the U.S.
Army s elite the Airborne and the Special Forces. Seriously wounded
in Vietnam, he was told he would never walk again. Benavidez not
only conquered his disability but demanded to return to combat.On
his second tour, when twelve of his comrades on a secret CIA
mission in Cambodia were surrounded by hundreds of North Vietnamese
regulars, Benavidez volunteered to rescue them. Despite severe
injuries suffered in hand-to-hand combat, Benavidez personally
saved eight men. His actions ensured his everlasting place as one
of the great heroes of the war. In February 1981, President Reagan
awarded him the Medal of Honor.
