Description

This powerful story tells of one man's fight against bigotry, paralysis, and his war enemy that led to the Medal of Honor. From migrant farm-worker and middle school dropout to recipient of his country's highest award for bravery, Roy Benavidez demonstrated the courage and fortitude of an American hero. The half-Yaqui Indian, half-Mexican orphan fought his way out of the bigotry of South Texas to serve with the Army's elite - the Airborne and the Special Forces. In February 1981, President Reagan awarded him the Medal of Honor.
