Medal of Honor Recipients on the Wall WALL NOTE ELEVEN: MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS ON THE WALL DANIEL R. ARANT [email protected] DATE OF INFORMATION: 01 AUGUST 2011 ((Note: Information has not been updated to include MOH recipient Austrian-born Sp4 (posthumous Sgt.) Leslie H. Sabo, Jr., USA, (10W 015), who was awarded a Posthumous MOH on 16 May 2012.)) WHEN YOU GO HOME TELL THEM OF US AND SAY FOR YOUR TOMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY KOHIMA EPITAPH BRITISH 2nd DIVISION KOHIMA WAR CEMETERY 01. PURPOSE. This Wall Note lists the Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients whose names are engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (VVM) – the Wall. The list includes: (01) rank/rate held at the time of the action (02) name, (03) Page 1 of 24 service, (04) unit association at time of action, (05) date of action, and (06) Wall location. The stories of four MOH recipients are told briefly in paragraph 08. A. The correct name of the Medal of Honor is the Medal of Honor and not the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is awarded by direction of the President in the name of Congress. There is a Congressional Medal of Honor Society, which is an organization chartered by Congress and may be a factor in the Medal of Honor’s “alternate” name. B. The date of action and the date of death for a posthumous MOH recipient may not be the same. The recipient may have died of wounds after the action. This difference in dates may be reflected in the VVMF Directory of Names. The VVMF Directory of Names lists the date of capture for a prisoner of war (POW) and not his REPORTED date of death. The reported date of death may be from National Liberation Front (NLF) or North Vietnamese sources. Some MOH citations refer to administrative areas in Viet Nam as “Provinces” when they are not. There may be some differences in the literature regarding the basic unit level of a recipient at the time of action. For example, Army medics and Navy corpsmen may be assigned to a Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) or Headquarters and Services (H&S) Company and then detailed to a specific infantry company or platoon. An artillery forward observer’s (FO) unit may be listed as his parent artillery unit or as the infantry company to which he was assigned temporarily. 02. ANNOTATED MAPS. The annotated 1:50,000-scale AMS maps and 1:500,000 TPC charts are provided through the courtesy and permission of U.S. Army tanker (“C” Company 1st Battalion 69th Armor) Viet Nam veteran Ray Smith. 03. PHOTOGRAPHS. Photographs are provided through the courtesy of the U.S. Naval Institute: http://www.usni.org. 04. DISCLAIMER. This Wall Note is not an official publication of the U.S. National Park Service (USNPS), the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF), or the Department of Defense (DoD). I have cross-checked dates and figures, but sources don’t always agree. Any errors are solely mine. Questions/corrections are welcome. 05. SUMMARY. A. During the Viet Nam conflict, 246 Medals of Honor were awarded for actions associated directly with Southeast Asia (Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia). This 246 number includes 155 posthumous awards. The names of 154 of the 155 posthumous MOH recipients are on the Wall. One Viet Nam conflict MOH recipient died in an air crash in the U.S. before he received his award; he received his award posthumously, but his name is not on the Wall since he did not die of wounds received as a result of combat action. B. There are some other numbers to consider. Some sources include a Navy MOH recipient who was awarded his MOH for action in the Mediterranean Sea in 1967, which would make the total MOH count 247; thus, you may see two different Navy MOH numbers, 16 or 15. A WW II MOH recipient was subsequently killed in Viet Nam, but I do not include him in the 246 Viet Nam conflict number. Explanations for the different numbers follow. C. Cdr. William L. McGONAGLE, USN. Some sources state that during the period of the Viet Nam conflict 247 Medals of Honor were awarded. This number includes 16 Navy MOH recipients. One of the 16 was awarded to Cdr. William L. McGonagle, USN, commander of the USS Liberty (AGTR-5). USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats on 08 June 1967, while the ship was operating in the Mediterranean Sea. The result was the deaths of 31 sailors, 02 Marines, and 01 civilian (a Navy reservist serving as a civilian with NSA); 171 personnel were wounded. Cdr. McGonagle was awarded the MOH for his actions. The name of Cdr. McGonagle (retired Capt.) is not on the Wall. If Cdr. McGonagle’s name is not counted, the total directly-associated Viet Nam conflict MOH number is 246 and the Navy number is 15. (01) If anyone desires to pursue the USS Liberty issue, there are a number of articles and books written by reasoned authors who take different views – the same is true regarding the August 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incidents. D. Lt. Col. William Atkinson JONES, III, USAF. There were 155 posthumous Medals of Honor awarded during the Viet Nam conflict. One would assume that the names of all of the 155 are inscribed on the Wall. Lt. Col. William A. Jones, III, USAF was awarded the MOH posthumously, but his name is not on the Wall. Lt. Col. Jones was the pilot of an AH-1H Skyraider and assigned to the 602nd Special Operations Squadron. He was nominated to receive the MOH for his action near Dong Hoi, North Viet Nam, on 01 September 1968. Lt. Col. Jones survived his wounds and returned to the U.S. for Page 2 of 24 a new assignment. On 15 November 1969, now Col. Jones was killed in the crash of his private airplane before he received his MOH. His widow received his posthumous MOH on 06 August 1970. Thus, although Col. Jones was awarded the MOH posthumously, his name is not on the Wall and the Wall Viet Nam conflict count is 154. E. Maj. Gen. Keith Lincoln WARE, USA. Maj. Gen. Keith L. Ware, USA is a MOH recipient and his name is inscribed on the Wall, but he received his MOH during WW II. Then Lt. Col. Keith Ware, commander of the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, received the MOH for action on 26 December 1944 in France. In Viet Nam now Maj. Gen. Ware commanded the 1st Infantry Division. His helicopter was shot down on 13 September 1968. His name is inscribed on 44W 055. Technically, there are 155 MOH recipients on the Wall of which 154 were awarded for direct participation in the Viet Nam conflict. F. PFC (Sgt.) William David PORT, USA. PFC Port received his MOH for action on 12 January 1968. During that action, he was wounded and taken prisoner and reportedly died in captivity on about 28 November 1968. PFC Port was awarded a posthumous MOH on 06 August 1970. G. MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTS ASSOCIATED WITH LAOS. Although the count of 154 for the Viet Nam conflict is not affected, a number of MOH recipients received their medal for action in Laos, but their citations read Viet Nam or “deep within enemy-held territory.” I assume this was associated with the 23 July 1962 Geneva Agreement concerning the neutrality of Laos. 06.

(01) I counted 82 instances whereby a soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine used his body as a shield to protect his comrades from an explosive device. This included diving directly on the explosive device (most of the instances), placing his body between the explosive device and his comrades, or picking up a live explosive device to carry/throw it out of harm’s way; 71 of these instances were mortal. B. PRISONERS OF WAR (POWs). Eight MOH recipients were POWs; the names of four are inscribed on the Wall. Five of the eight received the MOH for their actions as a POW. Three of the eight were awarded the MOH for actions prior to becoming a POW; two of these returned and one died in captivity. Four MOH POWs died in captivity. Ranks are those held at the time of capture.

  • List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Forty-three men of Hispanic heritage have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Of the forty-three Medals of Honor presented to Hispanics, two were presented to members of the United States Navy, thirteen to members of the United States Marine Corps and twenty-eight to members of the United States Army. Twenty-five Medals of Honor were presented posthumously.[2] The first recipient was Corporal Joseph H. De Castro of the Union Army for Reverse of the Medal of Honor awarded his actions at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1863, during the American to Seaman John Ortega Civil War and the most recent recipient was Captain Humbert Roque Versace who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on July 8, 2002, by President George W. Bush. Corporal De Castro was a member of the Massachusetts Infantry, a militia that was not part of the "regular" army; however, Private David Bennes Barkley was a member of the regular army during World War I and has been recognized as the Army's first Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient.[3] In 1864, Seaman John Ortega became the first Hispanic member of the U.S.

  • SHIFTING CONCEPTIONS of PUERTO RICAN IDENTITY DURING the VIETNAM WAR by ASHLEY LEANE BLACK BA
    FROM SAN JUAN TO SAIGON: SHIFTING CONCEPTIONS OF PUERTO RICAN IDENTITY DURING THE VIETNAM WAR by ASHLEY LEANE BLACK B.A., The University of British Columbia Okanagan, 2008 M.A., Wilfrid Laurier University, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) June 2012 ©Ashley Black, 2012 Abstract Between 1964 and 1973, the United States sent over 48,000 Puerto Rican soldiers to fight the war in Vietnam. While many enlisted voluntarily, many others were sent as draftees, subject to conscription as citizens of the United States. This is the starting point of this thesis, which looks at the intersection between citizenship, nationality and military service in relation to Puerto Rican identity at the time of the Vietnam War. This project focuses on the experiences of three distinct groups. First, it uses newspaper and archival research to explore opposition to the draft by Puerto Rican nationalists on the island, who used conscription as a tool to challenge the meaning of their citizenship. They questioned how a state that denied them the right to vote could require them to give the ultimate sacrifice and challenged both the moral and legal dimensions of conscription as it applied to the island. Next, it moves to the Puerto Rican barrios of New York to look at second-generation Puerto Ricans who came of age during the era of civil rights and the Vietnam War. Through the lens of popular culture, it looks at the early development of Puerto Rican stereotypes in Hollywood films and the way that these were challenged by a new generation of writers and activists by the close of the sixties.

It is this ideal that has inspired the conversation between the American people and we the members of the National Museum of the American Latino Commission, who were tasked to answer the question of whether there should be a National Museum that reflects the contributions of Latinos to every aspect of American History and Culture. The answer is abundantly clear. Yes. The time has come for the creation of a new museum on the National Mall, the place where our nation’s most important monuments are located, where we conduct the business of our Congress, pay tribute to our veterans, gather to inaugurate our Presidents and where we give full voice to our freedom of speech. The Mall, more than any other public space in our country does indeed tell the story of America, and yet that story is not complete. There must also be a living monument that recognizes that Latinos were here well before 1776 and that in this new century, the future is increasingly Latino, more than fifty million people and growing. We believe strongly that this new museum should be a part of the Smithsonian Institution, to be known as The Smithsonian American Latino Museum.
