Resorting to hand-to-hand combat, Hershey Miyamura covers the retreat of his men as waves of Chinese soldiers overrun his position in the Korean War.

E5. Vito Bertoldo

Declared 4-F due to poor eyesight, Vito Bertoldo later joins the U.S. Army anyway and ends up halting an enemy advance alone at the front lines.

E6. Joseph Vittori

During a vicious nighttime battle in Korea, U.S. Marine Joe Vittori rotates between machine gun nests, making the enemy think it faces a larger force.
