This MoH recipient led one of the most successful hand-to-hand assaults in WWII

Ive read about Colonel Nett many times COL Lee Flemming. If i remember correctly he died in Columbus, Georgia near Fort Benning. One of the honors of my life was volunteering at a Medal of Honor Convention awhile back. Met a lot of heroes. This gentleman, Colonel Leo Thorsness we lost recently. A true hero, badly beaten in Hanoi and he is thanking me for my Vietnam service. This is me on the left, Colonel Thorness and my twin brother Kevin, also a Vietnam vet.

I don't understand how they did it.... that generation of men and wome was something else.

Very impressive thanks for sharing this Soldiers story!
