Disneyland Salutes Vietnam War-era Medal of Honor winner 

He was awarded the Medal of Honor. You don't "win it". The Medal of Honor is earned!

The old vets limping and struggling to stand for the flag. Makes me proud to be a veteran.

Honoring the Medal of Honor recipients NEVER gets old...

That man takes his job seriously and it is greatly appreciated how respectful he is to retiring the colors.

Let each one of us have a SERIOUS moment of silence for everyone who UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT or WILL NOT make it home !!!! 😭😭😭😭

You don't "win" the Medal of Honor, You're awarded it, for conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty

I got to meet him, he is a very nice man.

I didn't know Disney did this for veterans. Job well done.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Davis (then Pfc.) distinguished himself during the early morning hours while serving as a cannoneer with Battery C, at a remote fire support base. At approximately 0200 hours, the fire support base was under heavy enemy mortar attack. Simultaneously, an estimated reinforced Viet Cong battalion launched a fierce ground assault upon the fire support base. The attacking enemy drove to within 25 meters of the friendly positions. Only a river separated the Viet Cong from the fire support base. Detecting a nearby enemy position, Sgt. Davis seized a machine gun and provided covering fire for his guncrew, as they attempted to bring direct artillery fire on the enemy. Despite his efforts, an enemy recoilless rifle round scored a direct hit upon the artillery piece. The resultant blast hurled the guncrew from their weapon and blew Sgt. Davis into a foxhole. He struggled to his feet and returned to the howitzer, which was burning furiously. Ignoring repeated warnings to seek cover, Sgt. Davis rammed a shell into the gun. Disregarding a withering hail of enemy fire directed against his position, he aimed and fired the howitzer which rolled backward, knocking Sgt. Davis violently to the ground. Undaunted, he returned to the weapon to fire again when an enemy mortar round exploded within 20 meters of his position, injuring him painfully. Nevertheless, Sgt. Davis loaded the artillery piece, aimed and fired. Again he was knocked down by the recoil. In complete disregard for his safety, Sgt. Davis loaded and fired 3 more shells into the enemy. Disregarding his extensive injuries and his inability to swim, Sgt. Davis picked up an air mattress and struck out across the deep river to rescue 3 wounded comrades on the far side. Upon reaching the 3 wounded men, he stood upright and fired into the dense vegetation to prevent the Viet Cong from advancing. While the most seriously wounded soldier was helped across the river, Sgt. Davis protected the 2 remaining casualties until he could pull them across the river to the fire support base. Though suffering from painful wounds, he refused medical attention, joining another howitzer crew which fired at the large Viet Cong force until it broke contact and fled. Sgt. Davis' extraordinary heroism, at the risk of his life, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.

Please change the title of this video

Sammy Davis's story is available to watch on RU-vid. If you haven't seen his interview detailing what happened the night that he earned the MOH, Sammy Davis is a super humble human and we are so fortunate that his story is out there. Happy Veterans day, Mr. Davis. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mn7vnlZcAv4.html

Never heard such gibberish before in my life. Our founding fathers did not bequeath to us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "We were endowed by Our Creator with unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Unalienable means: "Incapable of being sold or transferred" (Black's Law Dictionary, 1st Ed. 1890.)

I am extremely mad at the Orange County register for saying that PFC Sammy L. Davis WON his medal of honor !!!! A medal of honor is not WON, a medal of honor is EARNED !!!!

A real Hero!!

I was going to say that also James, you beat me to it.

THERE ARE NO MEDAL OF HONOR WINNERS..., THEY ARE RECEIPIENTS. YOU DON'T WIN SOMETHING SO HIGH AND SO HONORED. IT IS SIMPLY AWARDED. Dr. Rhiannon A. La Passioneria CMDR USN Ret.

Winner. Like it's a bloody lottery ticket. Jesus.

Not sure if it is going to a damn thing, but I have submitted an email to the Disneyland Reporter requesting that they correct the title.

Good for him.

You have to earn the medal of honer,they don’t give it away

Say winner one more time...I dare you....... please use the word awarded, for the medal is not the trophy in a contest.

Why doesn't he have his cover on

Medal of Honor "winner" 🤣

Should of burned the California flag.

They need to learn how to handle those colors properly. The way they folded that flag is not with care or Honor.
