This is a real-life hero I know.  I'm honestly happy to know he's still with us and about to receive the military's highest honor.  He was the Regiment's honorary colonel when I served, and he would be at practically every function - Ranger Rendezvous, Ranger Ball, etc. and would come the the deployment outposts.  He was a true inspiration, quite approachable, and always had a kind word for the wives.  I don't know why one (or both) of those DSCs weren't MOHs in the first place.  RLTW!

That’s a man. I read his story before. Unreal. He deserves th MOH without a doubt. 
 

I’ve only met one MOH recipient in my life. Hiroshi Miyamura. The first Top Secret MOH recipient as he was captured and a POW at the time and it was feared he would be executed. He was not a big, hulking man. He looked rather docile. Needless to say, looks are deceiving. To say I was humbled in his presence is an understatement. 
 

“Cpl. Miyamura, a member of Company H, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. On the night of 24 April, Company H was occupying a defensive position when the enemy fanatically attacked threatening to overrun the position. Cpl. Miyamura, a machinegun squad leader, aware of the imminent danger to his men unhesitatingly jumped from his shelter wielding his bayonet in close hand-to-hand combat killing approximately 10 of the enemy. Returning to his position, he administered first aid to the wounded and directed their evacuation. As another savage assault hit the line, he manned his machinegun and delivered withering fire until his ammunition was expended. He ordered the squad to withdraw while he stayed behind to render the gun inoperative. He then bayoneted his way through infiltrated enemy soldiers to a second gun emplacement and assisted in its operation. When the intensity of the attack necessitated the withdrawal of the company Cpl. Miyamura ordered his men to fall back while he remained to cover their movement. He killed more than 50 of the enemy before his ammunition was depleted and he was severely wounded. He maintained his magnificent stand despite his painful wounds, continuing to repel the attack until his position was overrun. When last seen he was fighting ferociously against an overwhelming number of enemy soldiers. Cpl. Miyamura's indomitable heroism and consummate devotion to duty reflect the utmost glory on himself and uphold the illustrious traditions on the military service.”
