Upon completion of infantry training, he was promoted to Private First Class, February 1967.

Private First Class Wheat arrived in the Republic of Vietnam in March 1967, and was assigned duty as a rifleman with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. His unit participated in numerous combat operations, including Operation DeSota, Duc Pho District, Quang Ngai Province, and Operations Webster, Arizona, Butler and Gem in Quang Nam Province. He was promoted to Lance Corporal in June 1967.

While assigned, with two other Marines, the mission of providing security for a Navy construction battalion crane and crew operating along Liberty Road in the vicinity of Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province on 11th August 1967, Lance Corporal Wheat was killed by multiple shrapnel wounds received when he unintentionally triggered a well concealed anti-personnel mine.

Medal Of Honor Citation

Rank and Organisation: Lance Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, Company K, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division.

Place and Date: Republic of Vietnam, 11th August 1967.

Entered Service at: Jackson, Mississippi.

Birthplace: Moselle, Mississippi, on the 24th July 1947.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Lance Corporal Wheat and two other marines were assigned the mission of providing security for a Navy construction battalion crane and crew operating along Liberty Road in the vicinity of the Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province. After the marines had set up security positions in a tree line adjacent to the work site, Lance Corporal Wheat reconnoitred the area to the rear of their location for the possible presence of guerrillas. He then returned to within ten feet of the friendly position, and here unintentionally triggered a well concealed, bounding type, anti-personnel mine. Immediately, a hissing sound was heard which was identified by the three marines as that of a burning time fuse. Shouting a warning to his comrades, Lance Corporal Wheat in a valiant act of heroism hurled himself upon the mine, absorbing the tremendous impact of the explosion with his body. The inspirational personal heroism and extraordinary valor of his unselfish action saved his fellow marines from certain injury and possible death, reflected great credit upon himself, and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

The United States Naval Service, (U.S.N.S.) Lance Corporal Roy M. Wheat.

God Bless All Heroes Of All Wars – May They Never Be Forgotten.

Chris Bailie.

Anthony Gallegos: I still have fond memories of the beach landing scene in the first Medal of Honor. I’m really hoping that EA can make this Medal of Honor something that can compete with Call of Duty.

Arthur: DICE has a proven track record for making great multiplayer games.

Charles: The single-player campaign is really well presented and could have a cool storyline. It could actually be a lot more interesting than the completely wow gold over-the-top ’80s action flick storylines in, for example, the Call of Duty series.

9. Metroid: Other M

Altano: The fact that they’re bringing in Team Ninja to enhance the combat is a strange and interesting change for the Metroid franchise, and I’m excited for it.

Anthony: The combination of first- and third-person cheap wow gold gameplay really intrigues me.

8. Fable III

Erik Brudvig: I’m excited for Fable III because it seemed like Lionhead overestimated what they could do with the second one. They shot for the moon and didn’t quite get there. Now with Fable III they’re recognizing what went wrong with Fable II and cleaning it up a bit.

Kristine Steimer: I’m a big Fable II fan. Love that dog, so I’m very happy the dog is back.

7. StarCraft II

Charles: I’ve personally been waiting for this for 12 years. The fact that they actually changed up the campaign so that it plays a little like a point-and-click adventure game is pretty exciting.

Nick Kolan: Blizzard has been working on this sequel for at least five years and it’s really polished, even in its current beta state. It’s gonna be awesome when it’s released.

6. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

Dana: I will play any game Criterion makes and love it. This is Burnout with cop cars and I am so there.

Geddes: The Need for Speed series has needed a reboot for a while. What we saw at E3 included cops, hot cars – there is even a Bugatti cop car, which is pretty much the most awesome thing I can imagine. It looks like the excitement of Need for Speed is back.

Hil: Criterion makes incredible racing games. The best mode that has ever been in any Burnout is Road Rage and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is an entire game built around Road Rage. It’s gonna be a blast and is gorgeous to look at.

 Meyer becomes the tenth recipient of the nation’s highest award for valor in those conflicts; all but two are presented posthumously.  Army soldiers staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta and Sgt. first class Leroy Petry are the sole different living recipients of the award.

The former Marine sergeant, who shared a beer with the president at the White House Wednesday,  insists he’s not a hero for repeatedly speeding into heavy enemy fireplace in an endeavor to rescue four missing U.S. servicemembers pinned down in an intense hours-long ambush in jap Afghanistan.

On September eight, 2009,  Meyer was one in every of 13 yank military trainers embedded with a unit of 80 Afghan soldiers headed for a  routine meeting  with local elders within the village of Ganjgal, located in a very valley along the border with Pakistan.

Four trainers at the front of the U.S.-Afghan force were immediately trapped by the heavy enemy fireplace believed to be coming from as several as one hundred fifty Taliban fighters.

Positioned in a very rear position when the ambush began, Meyer and different members of his unit used a Humvee to rush into the kill zone to do and rescue the four trapped at the pinnacle of their column.

Using the Humvee, Meyer rescued 12 Afghan soldiers in his initial 3 tries to reach the four trapped trainers.  He finally broke through to their position on the fourth try only to find they’d been killed within the fighting.  Meyer then retrieved their remains.

Killed within the fighting were Marine first Lt. Michael Johnson,  Marine staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick,  Marine Gunnery Sgt. Edwin Johnson, and Navy Hospital Corpsman third category James Layton, similarly as eight Afghan soldiers and an interpreter.

In a live of the heroism displayed by U.S. forces that day, two of Meyer’s fellow Marines, Capt. Ademola Fabayo and staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, have each received the Navy Cross, the service’s second-highest award for valor.

In an interview with ABC’s Bob Woodruff airing tonight on ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer,” Meyer says that if he was  faced with identical state of affairs again, “I would do it a hundred times” though he would amendment only 1 thing:  ”I wish I might have kept them alive.”

He insists he’s not a hero, but was only doing “what Marines do…I’m the furthest factor from a hero,” he says, “if this can be what it feels like to be a hero you’ll be able to have it.”  He adds, “What provides me the proper to be standing here nowadays and not their kids? I feel like I failed them and that i failed their families.”

Meyer wonders if the result may need been totally different  if  ”I had simply done it on the primary time on my instinct, maybe I might of got here there, created a difference, but like I said, you’ll be able to ‘what if it’  to the max.”

He says he wasn’t counting what percentage lives he saved that day in Ganjgal.  “I couldn’t tell you,” he says.  “I see numbers start off all the time, there, 3 or four sets of numbers , but I don’t think numbers really matter.”

Meyer says that when he and Rodriguez-Chavez went into the valley that day, “I wasn’t really thinking I might die…I can’t speak for him, but I know, I never thought i was getting to start off.”

A major motivator for his repeated tries that day was an early radio transmission from the four that led him to believe they were still alive pinned down in a very house “waiting for us to get them out.”

“The only factor i was targeted on was obtaining those guys out of there,” says Meyer.

But when he reached them, “I knew they were dead, but you just want to wish there’s one thing, one thing still going that you just can hopefully attempt to a minimum of save one in every of them.”

Meyer wears bracelets with the names of the four Americans killed in Ganjgal that day and feels some guilt that he survived the battle.  “I guess what’s stuck in my mind is you either get guys out alive otherwise you die trying, if you didn’t die trying, you didn’t strive onerous enough.”

Now living on his grandparents’ farm in rural Kentucky, Meyer says that he would come to active duty “in a heartbeat” if he may well be promised a come to combat “fighting with Marines.”

Meyer says that he needs the award, but that he’s not receiving the medal just for himself, but on behalf of all Marines.

Audie Murphy was born on June 20, 1924 and would be 87 today.  His family was very poor as he was growing up near Kingston, Texas.  He also lived in Farmersville and in Greenville.  His father, Emmett, was an Irish sharecropper.   Audie had eleven brothers and sisters of which Audie was the sixth child.  He dropped out of school in the fifth grade to help support his family by plowing and picking cotton for anyone who would hire him. 

He became very adept at shooting a gun and often killed small game so his family could eat.  His mother, Josie, died when Audie was only 16 and his father had already left the family.  He continued to work to help support his family by working in a general store, garage and gas station.  After the attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Audie enlisted in the military, but was rejected because he was too young.  On his 17th birthday, with the help of his sister, he appeared to be 18 and legally able to enlist. 

He was again turned down by both the Marines and Army paratroopers because of his size.  He was only 5′ft. 5-1/2 inches and weighed 110 pounds.  The Navy turned him down because of his weight.  He was finally accepted by the United States Army and insisted upon being a combat soldier.  He was in the 3rd Division and participated in the invasion of Sicily in 1943. 

He was sent to France in 1944 as part of Operation Anvil-Dragoon.  When his best friend, Lattie Tipton, was killed by a German soldier, Murphy went into a rage and single-handedly wiped out the German machine gun crew, as well as other nearby enemy positions.  He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.

While in France, he also received two Silver Stars.  On January 26, he participated in the Battle at Holtzwir where he was wounded in the leg for fighting off the Germans, but succeeded in driving the enemy away from Holtzwir.  He received the distinguished Medal of Honor for his heroics. 

In all total, he was awarded 33 U.S. medals, five medals by France, and one from Belgium.  He received every U.S. medal available at the time.  He earned the Silver Star twice in three days, three Purple Hearts, the Distinguished Service Cross, and the Medal of Honor.

Murphy’s successful movie career included  To Hell and Back (1955), based on his book of the same title (1949).  In addition to acting, Murphy also became successful as a country music songwriter.  He died in a plane crash in 1971 and was interred, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery.

He is truly a great American Hero!

Army Commendation Medal

The Army Commendation Medal is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States other than General Officers who, while serving in any capacity with the Army after 6 December 1941, distinguished himself by heroism, meritorious achievement or meritorious service. Award may be made to a member of the Armed Forces of a friendly foreign nation who, after 1 June 1962, distinguishes himself by an act of heroism, extraordinary achievement, or meritorious service which has been of mutual benefit to a friendly nation and the United States.

Soldier’s Medal

The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces of the United States, or of a friendly foreign nation who while serving in any capacity with the Army of the United States, distinguished him/herself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. The same degree of heroism is required as for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. The performance must have involved personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life under conditions not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Awards will not be made solely on the basis of having saved a life.

Distinguished Service Cross

The Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor; while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Unites States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing/foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The act or acts of heroism must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades.

Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President, in the name of Congress, to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit.

Purple Heart

The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to any member of an Armed Force who, while serving with the U.S. Armed Services after 5 April 1917, has been wounded or killed, or who has died or may hereafter die after being wounded.

These are just a few of the medals awarded to our soldiers, Part 2 will include more medals.

Two dozen men from three Ohio regiments were selected for this hazardous duty, a plan concocted by a Union spy who went by the name J. J. Andrews. Andrews and the soldiers would make their way through Confederate territory until they reached the heart of Georgia. From there they would steal a train and run it north to meet the Union army, which would be marching towards Chattanooga under General O. M. Mitchel. Along the way, the raiders would tear up track and burn the railroad bridges behind them, effectively severing one of the South’s major supply lines.

The men, dressed in civilian clothes, broke up into small groups to sneak across Tennessee, and Parrott joined up with another 18-year-old private named Samuel Robertson. For days the two marched through mud and pouring rain, avoiding detection as they infiltrated enemy territory. Early Saturday morning, April 12, they rejoined the other soldiers who had reached Marietta, Georgia, and there the group boarded a Western & Atlantic train called The General. 

The raiders stole the train as planned during a stop in Big Shanty while the other passengers and crew were eating breakfast at a nearby hotel. Andrews and three soldiers who acted as the engineers and fireman took control of the engine while Parrott and the remaining men climbed into an empty box car. Within minutes the train was speeding away, in full sight of a Confederate encampment. The General’s conductor and a railroad supervisor immediately gave chase.

As they raced the General towards Chattanooga, the Union men left a trail of cut telegraph wires and torn railroad tracks in their wake – but unexpected delays and a lack of tools slowed their progress. Their plan to burn bridges too was thwarted, by heavy rains that doused any fire they tried to start. Their pursuers were able to bypass the obstructions the raiders threw at them – first by running, then with a portable pushcart, and finally by jumping from one train to the next. Even uncoupled boxcars left on the tracks only managed to slow them down. Finally, the Great Locomotive Chase came to an end as the raiders ran out of fuel to power the steam engine, and the train came to a shuddering stop only 18 miles from Chattanooga.

The Union raiders had no way of knowing how many men were on the train behind them. Andrews, who was a civilian rather than military, ordered his men to abandon the General rather than attempt to fight. The soldiers leaped from the engine and took off in different directions, but a massive manhunt was already underway.

As they scattered from the train, Parrott once again paired up with Robertson, and the two ran for the woods. Within hours, though, they were captured by a group of men and brought to a nearby Confederate encampment. Parrott, who was the younger of the two, and with his boyish face appeared it, was targeted for questioning. When he refused to provide any answers, a lieutenant took him outside, stripped him, and began to whip him in front of a mob of angry spectators. They paused in his beating several times to give Parrott the chance to confess the object of their raid and to name his companions – especially the leader and engineers. Each time the young man refused, and they continued to whip him. He was given over a hundred lashes they before finally relented. The mob brought a rope to hang him and Robertson, but a Confederate colonel arrived in time to stop it.

Parrott and Robertson were taken to a jail in Chattanooga and placed in a small underground cell. There they were reunited with the entire raiding party, all of whom would be captured in the following days. The 22 men were handcuffed and chained by the neck in pairs, and crammed inside a room so tightly packed there wasn’t enough space for everyone to lie down. Throughout their captivity, they would be transferred from one prison to another, suffering through varying degrees of rough conditions, poor sanitation and malnutrition.

Almost two months after the raid, their leader, Andrews, was hanged as a spy in Atlanta. Two weeks later, seven more raiders were also executed, including an ailing Robertson. The hanged men had been selected arbitrarily for a court martial a few weeks prior, and it was only because reports of Union advancement had interrupted the proceedings that more men hadn’t been tried. Fearing a similar fate, the remaining men arranged to break out of their Atlanta prison in October. The majority of the raiders were able to escape in the attempt, eventually reaching Union lines after weeks on the run.

Parrott, however, was caught before making it past the fence, and he and the five others who were recaptured remained prisoners in the South. They were eventually moved to the notorious Castle Thunder jail in Richmond, where they endured a long, brutal winter with little protection against the cold – until finally, on March 17th, they were released as part of a large prisoner of war exchange.

After their release, they went to Washington DC to report their mission and following ordeal. A few days later, on March 28, they were summoned to the office of the Secretary of War, who had heard of their story and asked to meet them. At this point in the war, Stanton had been frustrated with reluctant generals who had made little progress so far, and Andrews’ Raid, while unsuccessful, had at least been a daring attempt. According to accounts of the visit, Stanton seemed especially impressed by Parrott, with his quiet manners and humble background. Parrott turned down his offer for a full education, saying he preferred to return to his regiment and fight.

It was during this informal meeting that Stanton brought out six small cases. He announced that Congress had approved the creation of a new medal of honor, and that their party would be the first to receive them. Then, presumably because Parrott was the youngest of the party and the one who had suffered the most, Stanton presented the first one to him. (Outside of a few exceptions, the rest of Andrews’ raiders would also be awarded the Medal of Honor, the executed men posthumously.)

In addition to the Medal of Honor, the six men were promoted to lieutenants and also received $100 in cash. Then, after a meeting with President Lincoln and a brief furlough to their Ohio homes, they returned to their former regiments. Parrott, who was still unable to read and write, soon felt out of place as an officer and attempted to resign from the position. His resignation was promptly rejected, however, and he went on to fight with his company in a series of battles, including those at Chattanooga and Chickamauga. Two years after the raid, he found himself once more following the same route into Georgia, this time as part of General Sherman’s March to the Sea.

As a result of his whipping and subsequent imprisonment, Parrott was afflicted with poor health for the rest of his life. His back bore permanent scars, and damage done to his spinal cord and nerves left him with a limp and other medical complications. After the war, he settled in Hardin County, Ohio, where he married and had a son. He tried farming and later ran a quarry business, and aside from a few public Andrews Raiders reunions, he lived a relatively low-key and quiet life. In 1908, at the age of 65, he collapsed on the street and died.

The first Medal of Honor, the one awarded to Jacob Parrott and later donated by his family, is now on display at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Medal of Honor – a computer game in the genre of first-person shooter, developed by EA Los Angeles and EA Digital Illusions CE. The game was released by Electronic Arts Platform PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 October 13, 2010. The game begins a restart of the entire series with the transfer of space in modern Afghanistan. The new version of Medal of Honor in the game in single player mode uses a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3, and when playing in multiplayer mode, the engine Frostbite Engine.

These military experts who are directly subordinate to the High Command of the U.S. – the best of the best in their fields. They are virtually unknown to the general public. They are involved in those operations that need to perform at any cost. They – Tier 1 Operators.

The U.S. military, whether it be Army, Air Force, Navy or Marine Corps, serve up to 2 million soldiers. Approximately 50,000 of them were subject to the command of Special Operations Forces. Functions, powers and responsibilities of Tier 1 Operators are much higher than even the best security services. The exact number of classified information, but is unlikely to exceed a few hundred fighters. Tier 1 Operators – live instruments of conflict resolution. The new game series Medal of Honor was created with the involvement and active cooperation with the veterans and current members of the unit. Now every player will feel like one of them, to test the latest weapons and equipment and destroy the enemy on the battlefields of modern Afghanistan.

A new enemy. A new war. And a new hero. Tier 1 Operators.

Born in Kingston, Texas, Murphy was the sixth of twelve children. Two of his siblings died at a young age, his father abandoned the family in 1936, and his mother died a few years later in 1941. Murphy worked to support the family, dropping out of school in the fifth grade and becoming proficient with a rifle while hunting to feed the family.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941, Murphy was eager to enlist; but the services rejected him for being underage. In June 1942, just after his 17th birthday, the Army accepted him as his sister, Corrine, helped to adjust his birth date so he appeared to be 18. As he was slight of build, 5′5″ tall, and having been rejected by the other services, his company commander at Greenville tried to have him transferred to cook and bakers’ school. But after 13 weeks of basic training, Murphy insisted on being a combat soldier and was sent to Fort Meade, Md., for advanced infantry training.

In early 1943, Murphy was granted his wish to be sent overseas. It was here, in the European Theatre, that he distinguished himself; he is credited with destroying six tanks and killing or capturing over 240 German soldiers. He saw action in Salerno, Anzio, Rome and Holtzwihr, France and received a battlefield commission during his service. As part of the 3rd Division, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross when he single-handedly took out a German machine gun crew.

The highest honor, The Medal of Honor, was awarded to him for his courage and leadership as commander of the 15th Infantry, 3rd Division near Holtzwihr, France on January 26, 1945. During an attack by German forces, he and his men were outnumbered by six tanks and waves of infantry. Ordering his men to withdraw to safety, he stayed behind and continued to direct artillery fire via radio. As the enemy advanced, 2nd Lieutenant Murphy climbed onto a burning tank and used the .50 caliber machine gun to keep the Germans at bay. He received a leg wound, but continued fire until the ammunition was exhausted, whereupon he made his way back to his company and organized a counterattack, forcing the enemy to withdraw.

Audie Murphy spent 29 months overseas, where he received 33 U.S. medals, plus five from France and one from Belgium with just short of two years of combat, and all before the age of 21.

Salvatore A. Giunta was just  a soldier doing his job.  That job on this particularoccasion included such levels of bravery that he has been awarded the highest military honor bestowed by the United States government, and in this case, Giunta is the first living soldier to receive the honor since the Vietnam War.

Giunta was a rifle team leader in Afghanistan when his regiment was ambushed by insurgents and Guinta and his fellow combat soldiers took on increasingly heavy fire.  During the mayhem, Guinta’s squad was split up into two groups.  When attempting to make his way back to the main group, Salvatore Giunta spotted two insurgents dragging an American soldier away.  Without thought for his own safety, and the enemies bullets spraying all about him, Specialist Giunta sprinted toward the insurgents, killing one and wounding the other.  In the process, Giunta took a bullet to the chest that was stopped by his body armor. Giunta then proceeded to give medical assistance to his fallen American comrade until other members of his team could arrive. 

And what was Salvatore Giunta’s response to having been declared and American war hero?  “I did what I did because that’s what I was trained to do. I didn’t run through fire to save a buddy – I ran through fire to see what was going on with him and maybe we could hide behind the same rock and shoot together. I didn’t run through fire to do anything heroic or brave. I did what I believe anyone would have done. The medal should go the guy on the right of me and the guy on the left of me. We were all in the fight.”
