Just read this on Wikipedia. Pascal Cleatus Poolaw, a full blooded Kiowa born in Apache OK, served in World War 2, Korea and Vietnam. Poolaw earned 42 metals and citations including five Bronze Stars, four Silver Stars, the Distinguished Service Cross and three Purple Hearts, one in each war. He died in an ambush in Vietnam in 1967 at the age of 45 while pulling an injured comrade to safety. A true American hero.

Sounds like there should be a movie about that guy.

Should be awarded the CMOH posthumously.

It would make a good one. The story line is definitely there especially that he is a minority.

I’ve always found it very interesting who and how heroes are awarded the CMOH. I’ve read a ton of Silver Star and Navy Crosses that are jaw dropping heroic.
