If I was half the man that "Tango Mike Mike, or That Mean Mexican" was, I'd be 10 times the man I am now...

Gotta love the heart and soul of Texas boys... God Bless America

Honor at Last for Roy P

[xcaliber]

WOW! What else can you say but WOW!That's one bad Cat. Sounds like the enemy was lucky he decide to get on that chopper and go with the wounded or he might have killed 'em all!

embarrassing that it took so long for his long overdue honour.

I was lucky enough to meet MSG Benevidez years ago.  He spoke at a professional group that I was a member of and I had the pleasure of sitting next to him during dinner & introducing him.

He was not a man for small talk and, like most heroes, didn't want to talk at all about the things he had experienced (I approached this very gently because my uncle was like that).

He gave an very, very inspiring speech, calling us all to do our part for our country.  He dismissed his bravery as just doing what he knew he had to do.  Watch that video or goggle him and it will amaze you what he did - all while suffering horrendous wounds himself.

Quite an evening that I'll never forget.  Quite a wonderful man!

Wow, what an amazing story. It gave me chills. God bless our men and women of the armed forces.

I knew Roy personally and grew up in the same small town of ElCampo
I will never forget seeing him jogging down the road on my day to day drive to work .
I talked with him many times , but never did  know  anything about him  being a war hero
Till one day my sister who was a X-ray tec. at the El Campo hospital showed me a x-ray she had taken of Roy
I could not believe this man was even alive , there were so many bullets & pieces of shrapnel in him ,
& yet  was jogging down the road like nothing was ever wrong with him.
I am very proud and honored to have know him.
I would like to clear up one thing,  he was not taunted as a dumb Mexican by class mates.
I know several people who attend school with Roy and were very offended by this ,  These remarks came from a book he
 wrote and was doctored up by the editor.

sounds like the script for a movie
