5.0 out of 5 stars MEMORABLE AND HONORED TO HAVE MET HIM!!!, December 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: MEDAL OF HONOR: A Vietnam Warrior's Story (Hardcover)

I truly enjoyed the book! I met MSG Roy P. Benavidez in 1990 while stationed in the Air Force at Dyess AFB in Abilene, Texas. The book is a must to read. It's an inspiration to all mankind. Unfortunately, on 11-30-98, he passed away. I attended his funeral services along with hundreds to pay our respects to a man whom I met in my lifetime and will never forget. The book has been written. Now, the movie must be made...

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Hero, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MEDAL OF HONOR: A Vietnam Warrior's Story (Hardcover)

My USA retired husband saw Roy Benavidez 3 days before he passed in Nov '98. Visitors were restricted but Roy beckoned for him to come into his hospital room (he always made time for everyone). He was in great pain and had his shirt off. His scars showed. A few words were spoken between 2 battlefield brothers. It must have been a comfort to the family to see the hundreds who went to the funeral. Mrs. Benevidez resides in El Campo TX, drop her a line to tell her you still remember Roy. Maybe one day a movie will be made about THIS FINE CHRISTIAN MAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True American Hero, September 25, 1998

otto@olypen.com (Port Angeles, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MEDAL OF HONOR: A Vietnam Warrior's Story (Hardcover)

I had the distinct pleasure of writing and receiving mail from Roy Benavidez when I was in the military. None of this would have been possible without first reading his book, (which should be made into a movie). This man is a true inspiration for all to emulate. I recommend it to young and old alike.
