Five Lionhearted Medal of Honor Winners

Lt. William Hawkins, U.S. Marine, gave his life for his country in Tarawa in the Gilbert Island, earning him the Medal of Honor. Hawkins courageously led his men to fight through a beachhead, eventually commandeering it. Instead of stopping there, Hawkins led his men on to annihilate numerous machine gun nests and pill boxes. Crucially wounded, Hawkins went on to destroy three more nests before he was killed.

    Those are heroes. People who stand around in turnout gear taking selfies are not.
