This veteran would have been a hero even without the medals - Was he?

A lieutenant with Oklahoma’s 45th Infantry Division during World War II, Montgomery was well-known for a battle in northern Italy, where he left his platoon behind the safety of a stone wall while he single-handedly stormed a row of German machine-gun nests. He killed 11 Nazis and captured 32 others, by himself, while dodging intense enemy fire.

And for that, he received the Medal of Honor.
