Hiroshi “Hersey” Miyamura was born in Gallup, New Mexico, to Japanese immigrant parents. He joined the Army and was assigned to the Korean War front. During a night attack by thousands of Chinese, his squad could not hold their ground, forcing his comrades to retreat. However, Hersey remained behind in provider cover. He emptied his ammunition, killing an estimated 50 enemies. Then took out his bayonet and began swinging. He heard a grenade go off and felt a searing pain in his leg. When he woke up, he was a prisoner. After the war ended, he was one of those released at Panmunjom. His selfless heroism earned him a Medal of Honor, which was presented to him personally by President Eisenhower at the White House.
