Today, we honor U.S. Marine Corp. Corporal David Champagne. Medal of Honor recipient, bravely led his fire team in an assault on a heavily defended hill. Wounded in battle, he refused evacuation and continued to fight. When a grenade landed near his team, he threw it toward the enemy, losing his hand in the process. Mortally wounded by mortar fire, his heroic actions saved lives and inspired all who witnessed his bravery.
