    As President Reagan said: "If the story of his heroism were a movie script, you would not believe it".
    Master Sergeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez aka 'Tango Mike Mike'

    Thanks for posting this amazing video on my dad. I think it's important for our youth to have videos like this that they can relate to. My father dedicated his life to speaking to our youth, our future leaders of America. This is a video for all ages to enjoy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. -Yvette Benavidez Garcia, Roy's daughter and author of the children's book, "Tango Mike Mike: The Story of Roy P. Benavidez."

    I met him when I was young, my Mom, my older brother, and I were at WOMAC hospital on Fort Bragg, I have forgotten why we were there, but my mom could only carry one of us. Then MSGT Roy Benavidez came over, he was there for a check-up and carried me on his shoulders and bought us burgers from McDonald's. That man is a true hero and I'm proud to have met him along with the other heroes I've met in my childhood. The world needs more heroes like him. The hero isn't the fastest, the strongest, the smartest, or the best looking. The true heroes are the men and women who no matter the trials, do what they know is right. That's what we need, real heroes.
