On this Medal of Honor Monday we honor American hero, Army Capt. Daniel Ken Inouye.
"Through heavy fire, Inouye led his platoon in the siege of an artillery and mortar post, which led to the capture of several enemy combatants. It also brought the platoon within 40 yards of the main hostile force before fire from three enemy machine gun nests hidden in bunkers and rock formations pinned them down. Disregarding his own safety, Inouye crawled up the treacherous ridge and, after getting to within 5 yards of one machine gun, tossed two grenades to destroy it. He then stood up and took out the second machine gun nest before the enemy could retaliate."
