I remember an assembly, kids being kids we were noisy, so in comes a an army officer with a family, we are think this is some kind of recruiting assembly, he starts by saying we are here to honor one of your classmates, it becomes pretty silent he reads the the Medal of Honor commendation, he was under heavy fire, saved several of his comrades while wounded and was fatally shot.
