Medal of Honor weighs heavy on those who earn it
Lt Charles Hagemeister of Ft Knox says the medal is harder to wear than to earn. He and Capt James A Taylor and Ernest Kouma, all Medal of Honor winners at Knox, describe the burden and the duty that come with heroism in Vietnam. Hagemeister recalls charging through heavy fire on March 20, 1967 to aid wounded comrades, kill a sniper, and silence a machine gun position.
