Roy Benavidez - Orphaned at a Young Age, Mine Blast Survivor, Green Beret, Medal of Honor Recipient

Born into poverty and experiencing tragedy early in life, Roy Benavidez was destined to become a statistic like many of his friends.  However, with the instruction and examples of his grandfather and uncle, Roy rose beyond his deficits.  He achieved a life-long dream, only to be met with a situation that would have made most people quit.  However, once again, he beat the odds and became a part of the US Army's Special Forces.  After being deployed to Vietnam, one morning, his name would go down in history after his breakfast was interrupted with a call for help.
