Hiroshi Miyamura

Miyamura was awarded the Medal of Honor for his valor in the Korean War. On the night of April 24, 1951, Army Corporal Miyamura was occupying a defensive position on a hillside when the enemy unleashed a ferocious attack. Believing his men would be killed, Miyamura, a machine-gun squad leader, ordered their evacuation. He then left his shelter and killed at least 10 enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. He then killed another 50 with his machine-gun before being severely wounded and taken prisoner. Because of Miyamura’s heroism, his fellow U.S. soldiers were able to fall back to safety. He spent over two years in captivity. Miyamura was born in Gallup, New Mexico and currently resides there.
