I'm sure in the SF realm he's already known. What a selfless individual.

One of the most humble and quiet men you could ever meet.

He spoke at a unit function around 95 or 96. We almost had to strain to hear him. His story was amazing and then he arrived at the part where he was clubbed/ stabbed and took his assailant's weapon, using it to kill the man. You could hear a few people whisper "Holy shit" at that point. "Quiet professional"...people have no idea.

What a man. I remember when he was awarded the MOH...but I'd never seen the 1991 speech before. Thanks for posting that link.
