Rodolfo P. Hernandez

Rodolfo Pérez "Rudy" Hernández (April 14, 1931 – December 21, 2013) was a United States Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor — America's highest military decoration — for his actions on May 31, 1951, during the UN May–June 1951 counteroffensive in the Korean War.

Despite his severe wounds, Hernández took actions during an enemy counterattack near Wonton-ni that allowed his platoon to retake their defensive position.
