[edit]DescriptionSgt. Henry Johnson Medal of Honor presentation (18436979876).jpg |
Command Sgt. Major Louis Wilson, of the New York Army National Guard, accepts the Medal of Honor from President Obama on behalf of Sgt. Henry Johnson. While on sentry duty, then-Private Johnson with another Soldier received a surprise attack from a platoon-sized enemy force. Despite receiving significant wounds, Johnson mounted a singularly brave counter-attack that saved the life of his fellow Soldier and resulted in several enemy casualties. He continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat until the defeated enemy retreated. Johnson was the first American ever to receive the Croix de Guerre. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Bernardo Fuller |
