Father Emil Kapaun to be awarded Medal of Honor from Korean War

I dont care if your religious or not, this man deserves it from reading about him and glad those that
were in the POW camps with him are able to see this great honor be awarded.
I personally couldnt imagine going through what those guys did and for him to think of others
before himself when food is below the minimium for survival. Simply amazing.

This definatly made my day

When Fr. Kapaun was assigned to the Eighth Cavalry regiment — which was surrounded and overrun by the Chinese army in North Korea in October and November 1950 — he stayed behind with the wounded when the Army retreated. He allowed his own capture, then risked death by preventing Chinese executions of wounded Americans too injured to walk.
