Macario Garcia • On November 27, 1944 (WW II), García’s platoon was trapped by enemy fire in Grosshau, Germany. • Realizing that his company could not advance because it was pinned down, Garcia went alone and destroyed two enemy emplacements and captured four prisoners. • Despite being wounded himself, he continued to fight on with his unit until the battle was over. • He became the first Mexican immigrant to receive the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration. • Just a few years later he was granted American citizenship. https://www.guideposts.org/inspiration/inspiring-stories/hispanic-heritage-month-14-inspiring-figures
