Read the link associated with this post. It's very heartwarming and a tribute to this MOH recipient from his son who is retiring from the Army. God Bless you Larry. Rest In Peace.
According to his Medal of Honor citation, 21-year-old Larry Dahl was assigned to a gun truck which went to rescue a unit pinned down in An Khe, Binh Dinh Province, Republic of Vietnam on February 23, 1971. He was assigned to the 359th Transportation Company. As they were preparing to return from that mission, an enemy threw a grenade into Larry’s truck. After shouting a warning to his comrades, Larry threw himself on the grenade, absorbing the explosion and the fragments – his last act. He left three-year-old Michael fatherless.
