In this episode of the Duty & Valor Podcast, we present the riveting true story of United States Army Sgt. Henry Johnson, a WWI hero who faced overwhelming odds in combat, standing his ground against an enemy force of approximately 36 men, nearly single-handedly. He stoutly defended his position, ensuring it never fell into enemy hands until reinforcements arrived, marking a pivotal point in the conflict.
Years later, this brave soldier's gallantry would be duly recognized, as he was posthumously awarded the US Medal of Honor. Join us, as we honor his courage, recount his story, and pay tribute to his service to our nation.
