Rudy Hernandez: Congressional Medal of Honor

On Hill 420, his rifle exploded, so Cpl. Hernandez used his knife in a gun fight.

Mexican American Rodolfo P. Hernandez faced death along the 38th parallel, earning a Congressional Medal of Honor for valor during the Korean War. A story of heroism, perseverance and service, Hernandez proved that even in the most dire circumstances a wounded soldier can accomplish his mission and go on to greater service as a veteran.
