• Master Sergeant Llewellyn Morris Chilson - WWII Rambo

  On December 6, 1946, a ceremony was held at the White House. The headliner was a U.S. Army NCO whose deeds were often so incredible that even Rambo himself would have been envious. He was a 26-year-old young man from Ohio, Staff Sergeant Llewellyn Morris "Al" Chilson. This man received seven medals from President Harry S. Truman that day, six of which were for bravery, but the highest award was missing. The one for which he was twice nominated but never received. The Medal of Honor. In awarding it, the president said aloud, "This is the most remarkable list of citations I have ever seen. For each of them, this young man is entitled to everything the country has to offer. They are worthy even of the Medal of Honor, I think."
