The Medal of Honor was posthumously presented to his wife/family.

His heroism was only matched by his love for his brothers. This is the kind of patriot that our country was founded on. A true patriot! I was sobbing when I first saw this and saw he died. I prayed he would make it it but he gave the ultimate sacrifice. Greater love hath no man than he who lays down his life for his brother. May he rest in peace!

No it's not...Lori Chapman Longfritz is John Chapman's sister. Chapman's wife is named Valerie.

It took two helicopters to retrieve his body from the mountain One for his body And one for his balls Huge set RIP

It took a bullet going straight through his heart to finally bring him down. A true legend. a real man.

Important side note: When the title says recorded, it means caught on camera. The MOH goes all the way back to the American Civil War. The first soldier to receive the award was Army Private Jacob Parrott on July 17, 1843. His citation reads: “One of 19 of 24 men (including two civilians) who, by direction of Gen. Ormsby M. Mitchell, penetrated nearly 200 miles south into enemy territory and captured a railroad train at Big Shanty, Ga., in an attempt to destroy the bridges and track between Chattanooga and Atlanta.”

Mr Parrott is buried in Kenton, Ohio, USA. One of the streets by the cemetary is named for him.

Thank you for posting this it’s heartbreaking but very informative to see the heroic sacrifice for his fellow servicemen

The adorable mum...Bless her heart 🙏

This helps me to always be thankful for what I have and to appreciate those who serve(d) a whole lot more.

All gave some, but some gave all. ❤ Most MOH recipients, like Chapman, never see the award, as most of the warriors are dead, so are awarded posthumously. God bless our fighting men and women!

Yes, Lori Chapman is John's widow. I met her and her daughters many years ago

@@Dugan035 My mistake. It has been a few years, but yes, Valerie is his widow, not Lori. So, to amend my previous statement, I have met John's widow and children.

This video still hits me hard even after viewing it multiple times thru the eyes of reactors.

The courage, bravery and determination of men like this are an inspiration. This video tears me up every time I see it. I thank God that men like this exist

This made me cry.

Sad note. The Seals abandoned him and then actively stopped him from receiving the CMOH. One of the Seals that abandoned him received the CMOH before him. The Navy needs to be exposed for this.

Such a great video and i just started following you guys a few months ago.Please keep up the great work and your videos are great

Millie's mom is so beautiful! Also she should do alot more reactions, I would watch any she posted!

One thing this video doesn’t talk about is the fact that the navy and in particular the seals John was with when this took place continuously fought against him receiving the metal of honor up until he was finally awarded it or at least that’s what I heard from multiple sources

They didn't want it to be Known that the SEALS left him behind, but the new head of the navy saw the video and released it saying he deserved the MOH

Thanks Google: "Lori has co-authored a book about her brother and his ordeal in Afghanistan where John paid the ultimate sacrifice while saving 23 of his fellow soldiers. Look for Lori's book Alone at Dawn: Medal of Honor Recipient John Chapman and the Untold Story of the World's Deadliest Special Operations Force."

The pkm isn't a classified as a heavy machine gun but it is a 26lbs (16kg) lmg so for you individual soldier it's heavy once you actually get going.

When the narrator says his actions earned his first medal of honor, then later says his second medal of honor, he's actually referring to medal of honor citations. That's the paperwork submitted saying this guy should get it. They passed a law back in WW2 that no one can receive more than one anymore.

"makes you feel good about society" john died trying to save his brother and others were wounded..none is this was heartwarming..its heartbreaking..

I saw a comment on another video and felt like it needed to be here too John wasnt stuck on that mountain with the enemy, the enemy was stuck on there with John.

John was married with 2 daughters . This was 2002 and it wasn’t until 2015 that the process and investigations were done for his nominations. President trump in 2018 flew John’s parents , wife and daufghers to the whitehouse . He was honored nationally and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor which his wife recieved for him.

This vid always gets to me.

Really enjoy watching the videos with your mom. Would really appreciate it while you are raising Archie that you could have her write a book on being a mom as she raised such a lovely daughter.

This heroic man was just built different

🫡 I watch this video at least once a year for motivation... John Chapman was on a whole another level what a different type of human rest in peace.. He is also the first airman to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.

What a grand new dynamic adding Mom!

Nice reaction ladies 👍👍

He was protecting his family

One of MANY of our heroes

Remember that heroes aren't born, but it's there actions to save their mates that make them one.

Our seals are so brave. I’ve never heard of this story, thank you! 🇺🇸

Also, the SEAL Team Leader lied on an official report that stated he checked on Chapman and he was dead, this video proved he never did that and Chapman was in fact still alive and fought til the end.

The Medal of Honor in America is almost like the Victoria Cross in Britain.

Just think of all the things that happened during the Iraqi and Afghan wars. I bet there were lots of stories like this where it was American and British Soldiers doing things to save their Allies! I've always heard wars bring out the worst AND BEST of humanity. This proves it! God Bless You and Thank You Sir for giving it your ALL! And the same for ALL of OUR Veterans And Fallen!

Hi

I don't find this to be heart-warming, but rather I find it heartbreaking. How many men died to retrieve a dead body? That's the biggest tragedy in this whole story. If someone risked the lives of so many people to save my lifeless body, I swear that I'd find a way to haunt them from beyond the veil. Don't sacrifice anyone to save my carcass, I'm not there anymore. If however I'm still alive, by all means, please come and get me.

Hand to hand Combat happens a lot more that most think , A lot happens during a firefight & things go bad in Sec's , In Vietnam i can't remember how many time Guys got into hand to hand even after shot , Because its no longer for Mom Apple Pie & the Girl next door & the Flag , its about your Brother on the right , left & rear & your fighting for your life too , Its all apart of War , Ugly BUT some time VERY needed to enjoy Freedom , Great Podcast a Hand Salute from an Old Vietnam Veteran , Keep watching true life video's & enjoy learning

Millie, your mom might enjoy the Oversimplified History videos that you and James watched. Or maybe the AC-130 video.

“He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.”

i cried immediately when she said heart warming im such a pussy

Hello Millie and Mum!

here's equality for you. Just over 7500 military women died in World War I. Mostly nurses. Of the 55 million soldiers that were involved in the First World War, 9 million men lost their lives war is old man talking and young men dying😢
