Paul Lambers, an Army Staff Sergeant with the 25th Infantry Division, led his platoon in fighting off an NVA battalion after his platoon leader was seriously wounded, earning the Medal of Honor. Honor and remember him!

Lambers moved in the open in the face of intense NVA fire, repairing a 90mm rifle while under fire to turn canister shot on to the attacking NVA, single-handedly repulsed another by throwing grenades and triggering claymore mines, and generally inspired his soldiers to keep fighting by his example.

Lambers survived Vietnam and received the Medal of Honor from President Nixon on November 24, 1969. Tragically, Lambers was tragically killed in 1971 when he was swept off a breakwater into Lake Michigan.
