- In this episode of the Duty & Valor Podcast, we present the riveting true story of United States Army Sgt. Henry Johnson, a WWI hero who faced overwhelming odds in combat, standing his ground against an enemy force of approximately 36 men, nearly single-handedly. He stoutly defended his position, ensuring it never fell into enemy hands until reinforcements arrived, marking a pivotal point in the conflict.
Years later, this brave soldier's gallantry would be duly recognized, as he was posthumously awarded the US Medal of Honor. Join us, as we honor his courage, recount his story, and pay tribute to his service to our nation.

The greatest honor for one of our greatest heroes. GOD BLESS AMERICA. And may the Lord bless the souls of our fallen heroes.
Thank you for listening!!
Tears, prayers, and salutations for the fallen. Many sacrifice for freedom and the mistakes of the few.

The young man deserved multiple purple hearts. Being denied the disability benefits probably shortened his life by 30 years. Possibly longer.
Never ceases to amaze me how POC who have been treated so badly by this nation fight like lions to protect it. No greater heroes.
Fighting for a Country who (mostly) hated him.
I still do not understand how we can call ourselves Americans and defend a system of oppression, which so treated other Americans as less than human. I salute you, sir, as a hero, SGT Johnson, Essayons, Sappers lead the way!
My granfather fought in WW1, got gassed and wounded. No medals no pension. He died of bone cancer (from poison gas) at 64 yrs old. God bless his soul.
True badass.
Dear God ❤
Thank God he heard the sound of the wire cutters. He must have been fighting on complete adrenaline with 21 wounds. Shame on the US army for what they did to him. God bless him.
No greater hero’s in America’s history than the POC when treated terribly at home fought like lions to protect this nation. It never ceases to amaze me.
Great content
Thank you for listening to his story!
We all bleed the same color there should be no difference in anything we look at
