MEDAL OF HONOR: Charging Enemy Bunkers with Rifle and Grenades | Ronald Rosser 

I met this awesome man and his lovely wife in the Dayton airport back in 2008, and I was awestruck at his story. After he showed me the CMOH that he carried in his fanny pack (watershed moment for me), he leaned over close to me and said “and I would do I all again in a heartbeat”. He was truly a larger than life Soldier. God bless him and his wonderful wife.

Ronald Rosser earns Medal of honor after going BEAST mode. Dude clinks when he walks.

Would NOT want to mess with this guy, even at his age!

"I didn't make friends easily" Boy, I bet that was true

Rosser's official Medal of Honor citation reads: Cpl. Rosser, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. While assaulting heavily fortified enemy hill positions, Company L, 38th Infantry Regiment, was stopped by fierce automatic-weapons, small-arms, artillery, and mortar fire. Cpl. Rosser, a forward observer, was with the lead platoon of Company L when it came under fire from 2 directions. Cpl. Rosser turned his radio over to his assistant and, disregarding the enemy fire, charged the enemy positions armed with only carbine and a grenade. At the first bunker, he silenced its occupants with a burst from his weapon. Gaining the top of the hill, he killed 2 enemy soldiers, and then went down the trench, killing 5 more as he advanced. He then hurled his grenade into a bunker and shot 2 other soldiers as they emerged. Having exhausted his ammunition, he returned through the enemy fire to obtain more ammunition and grenades and charged the hill once more. Calling on others to follow him, he assaulted 2 more enemy bunkers. Although those who attempted to join him became casualties, Cpl. Rosser once again exhausted his ammunition, obtained a new supply, and returning to the hilltop a third time hurled grenades into the enemy positions. During this heroic action Cpl. Rosser single-handedly killed at least 13 of the enemy. After exhausting his ammunition he accompanied the withdrawing platoon, and though himself wounded, made several trips across open terrain still under enemy fire to help remove other men injured more seriously than himself. This outstanding soldier's courageous and selfless devotion to duty is worthy of emulation by all men. He has contributed magnificently to the high traditions of the military service.

This man is to be respected. He is a true patriot that puts his fellow soldiers first. Glad he fought for America. Thank you for your service.

That gentleman has got to be the bravest man I’ve ever seen . Awe inspiring

They should make a movie about this veteran

He was the man that the U.S. government wanted all our boys to be. For lack of a better term he was a killing machine. Well versed in all forms of being a solider. I say that with all due respect. Also as I listen it’s respectful that he address the interviewer as “sir” every single time.

My grandpa was a Marine and fought in Korea. He never talked about it and he took everything to the grave. Hearing interviews like this makes it feel like I can get a small sample of what he went through over there.

Truly an awe inspiring American legend

Man oh man ,to hear a soldier talk this way with such brutal honesty is really something ! A movie should be made about his war experiences. God Bless and RIP

I can only humbly admire a soldier who did so much more than me - a salute from all of us .Thank you sir

Its good to hear someone from a forgotten war.

I bought a DVD when I was 15 about medal of honor recipients and this man told his story there when he was much younger. I'm happy that he's been able to grow old and tell his story unlike so many others

The machine gunner who spared this man's life, is beyond honorable, and should be respected. I hope he survived the war.

This is the best military interview I’ve seen. Talk about a guy with true gallantry and grit, Rosser used his grief over his little brother to literally execute the enemy with prejudice. I guess every fighting man was afraid except him!

"Hit" means either shot or shrapnel..."never even saw a doctor, just took care of it myself".....HOORAH

My father who died last year, fought in Korea and his unit was surrounded by the Chinese for 5 days. God bless this brave man and ALL of those who served our Nation in the Forgotten War! Vietnam vets talk about no recognition, and that was true. But Korean veterans got even less !! That is why it was called the Forgotten War !

What an absolutely incredible man. He deserves a super sized Medal Of Honor. An American hero.

My Dad was a Dirty Man in Korea, very Faithful to His duty. He told me several combat stories that my siblings never knew. That generation was tougher than Hell. Thank You Dad for making Me a tough S.O.B. Love You Dad. And thanks to All tough veterans.

Wish I had the chance to sit down and talk to my grandpa's about their experience in World War II they both died before I was old enough to understand the gravity of the situation they went through

MoH citation reads: "Cpl. Rosser, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty.

This man's a savage.

You know, I've heard a hundred vets at this point say, "If you ever meet someone who claims they were never afraid during combat, they're a liar." But when you take in this man's story and you look in his eyes, I'll be damned if anyone thinks this man has lied about a single thing.

I seem to have dropped my jaw on the floor.

I love this man, what a legend!!

Love this guy. Tough men make easy times and this man is as tough as they come.

Glad you made it home Ronald and I hope you are well. I was a first Lieutenant of Artillery Forward Observer in the central highlands of Vietnam.

“Chuck Norris?” “Never heard of her.”- Ronald Rosser

This man is incredible---a true superhero. I wish all men had his courage and resolve to protect others. This interview needs to be shown in every middle and high school. This is the kind of person worthy of celebration and respect, not Hollywood celebrities and politicians.

Thank you for your Service & Sacrifice S.F.C. Ronald E. Rosser! Sincerely, a Combat Veteran!

Above and beyond the call of duty is an inadequate description of this soldier's exploits.

Thank you so so much for fighting against communists in Korean War and saving our country. As a third generation of N Korean refuge family, I grew up listening all the wartime and postwar stories, ya'll are heroes and have very special place in our hearts. And we wouldn't be here today without your help and sacrifice. God bless you.

This Mr. Ronald Rosser is truly a warrior. He had/has no fear

He tells this whole story and barely even mentions it was 25 below zero. Just as a footnote. If they made a movie about all this, no one would believe it. This guy has to be the most Rambo badass I ever heard. Times ten thousand. And they made him and his family ride a Greyhound bus to the White House to receive the CMH?

This guy is hard as hell! He smiles when he talks about it. I love it!

This guy is incredible. What an absolute master of war.

This man is a born killer! But that’s what we needed him to be! Thank you Sir for carrying that burden for us, and being “good at it!”

God bless you Ron

Served in Iraq, 2004, thank you for your service, bro! That was a real war, up close and personal! Proud to be your brother- in-arms!

People seem to forget this conflict...along with the men that suffered thru it.

Wow: A Military Superman: Was Col. Ronald Rosser. Born 10/24/1929 -08/26/2020 (aged 90) RIP Sir. Salute! 👍

The Rhodesian RLI and SAS were typical of this kind of tough soldier. Their bushcraft, weapons handling and soldiering capacity, were the best in the world. Ronald E. Rosser is a soldiers soldier. Phenomenal.

I met his niece two weeks ago who told me about this man who is her uncle. I was in Korea for 31 months in the army 50 years ago. I am honored this generation fought before me.

Amazing story. This man is a true example of the saying that hard times make hard men.....but wow....what a life.

I definitely wouldn't want him pissed off at me ! What a powerful story. 👍🇺🇸

Basically this guy played COD multi-player in real life and never lost one game 😮

Thank you A.V.C for your quality content

Mr.Rosser, words cannot describe the respect I have for you and other Korean war veterans. My father was a Korean war veteran and 30years later I served there for a year. I could go on, but you said enough. I admire your courage and to say thank you is not enough

RON ROSSER SHOULD WRITE A BOOK OR MAKE A MOVIE NERVES OF STEEL A TRUE HERO THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE GOD BLESS U FOREVER AMEN 🙏 YOUR BROTHER WAS WATCHING OVER YOU RON

Thank you Sir, God bless you all....

Amazing story. Thank You

A fascinating man to listen to , great to hear history from a soldier who made it .

Thank you sir for your brave service and our freedom. Thank you for sharing your story. Truly an American hero.

Had a chance encounter to meet SFC, USA (RET) Rosser. My partner and I spent an hour and a half just listening to what he was telling us about some of his experiences after being awarded the CMOH. He told us that after being awarded the MOH by President Truman that a young officer saluted him. He did not think much about it but, the officer told him from now on officers will be saluting him. He said that officer was Abrams. We listen intently as to what he was telling us. Our take away from the time we spent with him was that he was a very humble man and even then he still believed in taking care people. It was about 0330 in the morning when we meet SFC Rosser. Unfortunately SFC Rosser passed away at home with his family. He was buried with full Military Honors in Ohio where he was born. He was a awesome man to talk with. You listen more than you will actually talk to him. The U.S lost a Great American when he pasted away. It was a true honor to meet SFC Rosser. Being retired from the Army made it even more of a honor to speak with him.

"I made up my mind I was gonna kill a lot of people...which I did" HAH!

Thank you

Thank you, Sir, for your service! You are an amazing man!

by far one of the best interviews ever

They sure don’t make men like this anymore. And I’m a combat bet of Iraq and Afghan. Thank you sir, you are the embodiment of a true hero

I sure like this hero soldier. Did his job as he was trained to do and never stopped doing it until his job will be over someday. Thank you for your service to America.

This guys deserves his own movie!

SFC ROSSER..... YOU ARE AN AWESOME LEADER!!!!! MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US ALL 💋💘💋💘💋

We were so blessed by this generation of brave men doing what they had to do.

Amazing warrior truly. Wow

this guy won the war almost single handedly, at least to hear him tell it..

You are one Brave human thank you sir

What a great interview. This is what an American is made of , make no mistake this is us folks.

Thank you for your service sir.

This man went from a paratrooper to a forward observer! I worked with a lot of forward observers. One of my good friends was an observer in the marines. To this day, forward observers have been my favorite soldier. I love those guys.

Thank you for your service sir

Thank you Ron! RIP

ThankYou Sir 🇺🇸

Wow! Amazing bravery and personal fortitude!

Thank You Sir !

Would make a wonderful movie thanks you your excellent service.

At 5:55 He's the Rodney Dangerfield of forward observers. A complete and total American badass. Thankful that he was on our side. Thank you Sir.

It was a pleasure to listen to this man ?what a pleasure I could listen to him all night

Army training gave him supreme confidence. Fantastic.

What a great person, it reminds me of my grandfather, i miss him a lot, i should ask more about his korean war experience...

This dude is a BADASS and one of my new heroes. Hes amazing

One of those days….binge watchin korean war vets interviews :)

What a great guy!

One of the best interview ever this was the original Rambo

God bless you sir

Grew up in the same town as this man, went to school with his grandkids, he was a great man.

i was raised in the woods of arkansas my dad took me hunting one time he killed two deer he was a vet of ww2 and korea after he killed those deer he never went again he told me after you hunt men killing deer is just too easy it is amazing what men are able to do to other men what a badass this man is

Only two kinds of people are “born to kill”. Older brothers who protect their families and psychopaths. Met a lot of psychopaths... not many “brothers”.

Your devotion opens all life treasures

He should get the medal of outstanding honor

Thank You! Mr. Rosser would vote for you to run are Military... Ronold E Rosser you have a place in my heart.

What a savage. I'm shocked at the way he talks about it. He enjoyed his job. It sounds like he was incredibly good at it. Honestly, it's kind of chilling to think that there are men out there that can spread death so efficiently.

A true American hero.

Simply incredible. Thank you.

"I had a bad sense of humor" talk about an understatement 😂 God bless this warrior.

to translate to the modern kids....he pressed LB, R3, and R2 a lot...this man was and still is a true American hero

Rare to hear anything other than humble murmuring from living MoH guys... I'm not sure what to think of his account here

A Thank you falls short, but thank you just the same.

A movie about his service would be EPIC!!!

One of the better story accounts by a veteran
