Veteran’s Day Special: The Story of MOH Eugene A. Obregon and His Ultimate Sacrifice

What inspires someone to risk everything for a fellow human being? On this special Veterans Day episode, we honor Eugene A. Obregon, a remarkable young Marine from Los Angeles who faced this profound question and answered it with unparalleled valor. Listen to the incredible story of how Eugene, on a harrowing day in September 1950 during the Korean War, shielded a wounded comrade from enemy fire, sacrificing his own life. This act of heroism earned him the prestigious Medal of Honor and left an indelible mark on those who cherish courage and selflessness.
Through Eugene's moving tale, we reflect on the enduring impact of his sacrifice, commemorated by memorials such as the Eugene A. Obregon Memorial Interchange in Los Angeles. His legacy is a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the countless men and women in the armed forces who have given so much. Join us in celebrating not just Eugene's bravery, but also the sacrifices of military families and veterans everywhere. May his story, and those of others like him, inspire us to honor the spirit of service every single day.
