With his unit surrounded by enemy forces, US Army Sfc William M. Bryant, organized and lead his unit in a fierce defense of their position over a relentless 34 hour period during the Vietnam War.
During this time he would repeatedly risk his own life to direct fire at the enemy, aid the wounded, distribute ammunition, and even lead multiple patrols outside the perimeter of their defensive position. He was a military hero who was awarded they US Medal of Honor, and I am honored to tell you his true story.
