Thank you, Mr. Ballen, for the retelling of my dad's story. His 6 hours in hell mission is unbelievable and one he didn't like to relive, but he told it in hopes of inspiring those who heard it. He never took credit for being a hero, although in all of our eyes he is one. He always said the real heroes are the ones who never came home. By the way, our family just celebrated the 40th Anniversary of my father receiving the Medal of Honor. Again, well done Mr. Ballen. -Yvette Benavidez Garcia, Roy's proud daughter. #TangoMikeMike

His story should never be forgotten. I’ve shared your father’s story with my children and hopefully they will share it with their own kids someday. I like to tell my kids that life will knock you down a million different ways, it’s your job to find a million and one ways to get back up. Inspired by your Dad. Thank you

@@KerpelesI have a uneasy feeling concerning this matter, pretty much every action of the story 1covers the entire 10yr period of the Vietnam war condensed for the actions of just one man, not wanting to take away from this man's bravery I'm having difficulty digesting the facts, stepped on a land mine all by himself out of uniform no foot injury 4yrs later in a religious service one minute, on a rescue mission 2nd minute, forgot his weapon as a GB, jump's into enemies lap, shot in head, shot 30+ more times 2hand grenade blast, carries 8men to one area, back for 2more, and repeats this after loading chopper by himself unloading same bird on fire carrying all the men into the jungle calls air strike on his position with a map he didn't forget that, gets stabbed with bayonet×12 with no loss of blood , no one else gets credit for trying to help, I don't think all the facts are represented in this story.

@@juliecook6057 You know that statement has nothing to do with women’s equality, or equality in general. There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be a man, just like there’s nothing wrong with being proud to be a women. We should all be proud to be who we are. Stating that pride doesn’t create inequality, and it’s a right that both genders have. If the statement was written “Congratulations, it’s a women” would you say that it takes away men’s rights and men’s equality? Don’t create an issue that doesn’t exist in relation to the comment. Frankly, your comment just reflects poorly on all women. I’m a huge supporter of gender equality, meaning for both women and men, before you go claiming that I’m against women’s rights and promote inequality. I believe that both genders should be equal. Feminism has become this fight for women’s rights to be more important, rather than the fight for equality, which is at its roots. That’s not any better than what’s historically occurred and still exists in many places. We are human beings, and should all be EQUAL.
