Charles Hosking earned the Medal of Honor posthumously in Vietnam, when he shielded fellow Americans from a grenade blast with his own body. Honor and remember him!

Hosking had served, briefly, in the Canadian Army when he was sixteen years old, before going the Coast Guard and then the United States Army during World War II. He was serving as a special forces adviser when he captured the Viet Cong sniper, who managed to grab and arm a grenade from Hosking.
