MEDAL OF HONOR AWARDEE
John A. Chapman

I highly recommend the book about Chapman, called "Alone at Dawn". It covers the circumstances of the operation in which he gave up his life and more -- all I'll say is there was some real shady business going on at the highest levels of our military and government to trample on his grave.

Profound either way.
