US Army Sgt. Henry Johnson faced an enemy force of approximately 36 men and fought them off nearly by himself. He held off their advance until reinforcements arrived, which kept the Germans from ever overrunning his position. It would take decades, but he was finally honored with the US Medal of Honor and I'm honored to tell you his story.
