Alfred Rascon

Specialist Fourth Class Rascon was awarded the Medal of Honor for shielding his fellow soldiers with his own body to protect them against a grenade attack during the Vietnam War. Rascon was a battalion medic with the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade on March 16, 1966, when his unit was attacked by North Vietnamese troops. Three times during the firefight Rascon braved enemy machine-gun fire and exploding grenades to shield wounded men. Despite being seriously wounded, a bloodied Rascon, who refused medical aid, saved the lives of many of his fellow troops. Rascon was born in Mexico and resides in Laurel, Maryland.
