Now here is a real hero's story

Regan awarded MSG Roy Benavidez the medal of honor some years after the event that earned it. He was a poor Tex Mex with little education that joined the Army and become Special Forces. About a third of the way through the video he tells his story. This guy was a real hero.

But he is dead now. Check out this later video. And notice the part about his Social Security and how he had to ask Regan to help get it back. What a greatful country we live in.
