Roy Benavidez

Only located one thread with his name and that didn't cover the following:

You will be amazed ( at least I was ) at the number of wounds he received and still survived in the Year of the Monkey.

I salute him!

Medal of Honor recipient, and a tremendous Soldier.

[PD Sgt.]

I was playing a video of President Reagan reading the MOH citation and my wife, who was listening, thought it sounded more like a Hollywood movie than real life.

Truly an American hero, and a great example to all.

Maj John Plaster, in his books about the SOG, mentioned MSG Benavides' heroic actions. One of the best we've ever raised up.

Dude was hardcore badass. If you shot him point blank in the face, his brass balls would stop the bullet. It's a scientific fact.

I started that other thread about Sgt. Benavidez. We cannot do enough to honor men like him.

I just watched the youtube video and all i can say is WOW. Complete loss for words!!

Thankfully, I had a father that taught me about him when I was young.

Even got his own action figure!
