Sammy Davis's story is available to watch on RUclips.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Davis (then Pfc.) distinguished himself during the early morning hours while serving as a cannoneer with Battery C, at a remote fire support base. At approximately 0200 hours, the fire support base was under heavy enemy mortar attack. Simultaneously, an estimated reinforced Viet Cong battalion launched a fierce ground assault upon the fire support base. The attacking enemy drove to within 25 meters of the friendly positions. Only a river separated the Viet Cong from the fire support base. Detecting a nearby enemy position, Sgt. Davis seized a machine gun and provided covering fire for his guncrew, as they attempted to bring direct artillery fire on the enemy. Despite his efforts, an enemy recoilless rifle round scored a direct hit upon the artillery piece. The resultant blast hurled the guncrew from their weapon and blew Sgt. Davis into a foxhole. He struggled to his feet and returned to the howitzer, which was burning furiously. Ignoring repeated warnings to seek cover, Sgt. Davis rammed a shell into the gun. Disregarding a withering hail of enemy fire directed against his position, he aimed and fired the howitzer which rolled backward, knocking Sgt. Davis violently to the ground. Undaunted, he returned to the weapon to fire again when an enemy mortar round exploded within 20 meters of his position, injuring him painfully. Nevertheless, Sgt. Davis loaded the artillery piece, aimed and fired. Again he was knocked down by the recoil. In complete disregard for his safety, Sgt. Davis loaded and fired 3 more shells into the enemy. Disregarding his extensive injuries and his inability to swim, Sgt. Davis picked up an air mattress and struck out across the deep river to rescue 3 wounded comrades on the far side. Upon reaching the 3 wounded men, he stood upright and fired into the dense vegetation to prevent the Viet Cong from advancing. While the most seriously wounded soldier was helped across the river, Sgt. Davis protected the 2 remaining casualties until he could pull them across the river to the fire support base. Though suffering from painful wounds, he refused medical attention, joining another howitzer crew which fired at the large Viet Cong force until it broke contact and fled. Sgt. Davis' extraordinary heroism, at the risk of his life, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.

Sammy L. Davis is a Viet Nam veteran, long retired. No one tells him what to wear any more. If he arrived in a T shirt with that MoH around his neck - he would still be saluted (actually, it's the Medal they are saluting, so his dress would not matter). He could meet the President dressed like that and no one would say a thing. So - who are you?
@@julieenslow5915 "So - who are you?" Someone who obviously knows what he's talking about, unlike you. You wear the uniform, you wear the cover, and technically he's not even authorized to do that because that's not his uniform, his uniform is from a totally different era, but they get a pass, as long as it's worn correctly. "No one tells him what to wear any more" It's called AR 670-1
@@armybeef68 OK. And that is the difference between a civilian (me) and military person (you, I assume). Once retired, no one tells me what to wear anymore.

He was awarded the Medal of Honor. You don't "win it". The Medal of Honor is earned!
James Ullmer, Jr. exactly, they need to square that away .
Pisses me off when they say "win" any medal. No service member wins any medal. It is awarded just like you said. Willful ignorance is unacceptable.
It's a Mickey mouse operation
Standing with a Medal 🏅 Of Honor Recipient is an Honor. I shook the hand of a MOH Recipient

The old vets limping and struggling to stand for the flag. Makes me proud to be a veteran.
Honoring the Medal of Honor recipients NEVER gets old...
That man takes his job seriously and it is greatly appreciated how respectful he is to retiring the colors.
You don't "win" the Medal of Honor, You're awarded it, for conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty
Let each one of us have a SERIOUS moment of silence for everyone who UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT or WILL NOT make it home !!!! 😭😭😭😭

Winner. Like it's a bloody lottery ticket. Jesus.
Not sure if it is going to a damn thing, but I have submitted an email to the Disneyland Reporter requesting that they correct the title.
Thank you.
You have to earn the medal of honer,they don’t give it away
Good for him.
Medal of Honor "winner" 🤣
Say winner one more time...I dare you....... please use the word awarded, for the medal is not the trophy in a contest.

Should of burned the California flag.
They need to learn how to handle those colors properly. The way they folded that flag is not with care or Honor.
