defense came

M/Sgt. Harold E. Wilson, USMCR, Medal of Honor - He Held On All Night - Out of the spring night, the Red banzai attack hit like a thunderstorm. The darkness exploded into a nightmare of flaming confusion. But Sergeant Wilson went into action at once, rallying his hard presed men. Bullets wounded his head and leg; disabled both arms. Refusing aid, he crawled, bleeding, from man to man, supplying ammunition, directing fire, helping the wounded. As the attack grew fiercer, a mortar shell blew him off his feet. Still, dazed and weakened, he held on, leading the fight all night till the last Red assault was beaten off. At dawn, by sheer courage, the Sergeant had saved not only his position, but the precious lives of his men. "In Korea," says Sergeant Wilson, "I didn't think about where our weapons came from - I just thanked God they were there." "Now back home, I realize what's behind those arms. The united strength of millions of thrifty, hard-working folks like you - who are making America safe by investing in U.S. Defense Bonds. Believe me, you're saving men's lives, too!" ..... 1953 U.S. Defense Bonds Ad, A4884.
