PFC Eugene Arnold OBREGON: While under fire, saved the life of his comrade at great peril to himself. |
Eugene Arnold Obregon
He gallantly gave his life for his country
Medal of Honor Recipient
Rank and organization:
Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps,
Company G, 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.).
Place and date: Seoul, Korea, 26 September 1950.
Entered service at: Los Angeles, Calif.
Born: 12 November 1930, Los Angeles, California.
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life
above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Company G,
in action against enemy aggressor forces.
While serving as an ammunition carrier of a machinegun squad in
a marine rifle company which was temporarily pinned down by hostile
fire,
Pfc Obregon observed a fellow marine fall wounded in the line of
fire.
Armed only with a pistol, he unhesitating dashed from his
covered position to the side of the casualty.
Firing his pistol with 1 hand as he ran, he grasped his comrade by
the arm with his other hand and, despite the great peril to himself
dragged him to the side of the road.
Still under enemy fire, he was bandaging the man's wounds when
hostile troops of approximately platoon strength began
advancing toward his position.
Quickly seizing the wounded marine's carbine, he placed his own body
as a shield in front of him and lay there firing accurately and
effectively into the hostile group until he himself was fatally
wounded by enemy machinegun fire.
By his courageous fighting spirit, fortitude, and loyal devotion to
duty,
Pfc. Obregon enabled his fellow marines to rescue the wounded man and
aided essentially in repelling the attack, thereby sustaining and
enhancing
the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Who gives a *****. He was probably trying to save a fucking Mexican.
You might as well quit posting this *****, because I hate Mexicans,
and I don't care if they are legal or illegal, they are overrunning this
country, and it has to stop.

Klukker trash, I have many friends -- American citizens who happen to
be of hispanic descent. Their families have likely been citizens of
this country longer than the ratty trailer trash that spawned you. If
you can't keep your racist remarks to yourself, kindly go dive under a
train and leave the solution of this problem to those with some
intelligence.
You may as well learn now that if you can't tell the difference
between Americans and foreigners, you should learn to keep your
actions and your speech to yourself.

I had to leave for work, and didn't have much time.
First you call me a left wing maggot, because I don't agree with your
moronic president, and I told you at the time I was as far right as you
can get, and you didn't believe it.
Our country is being overrun with Hispanics, and it is changing the
culture of this country. I have to listen to Spanish commercials on
radio, and watch them on TV, and I am tired of it. The Hispanics try to
compare themselves to the former slaves in America, that were brought
over here against their will, and were treated like animals. The
Hispanics made the choice of coming here when they had a country of
their own, and if they don't like the way they are treated here, they
have the choice of leaving.

Sorry, klukker. Until you learn the difference between American
citizens and foreign trash, you are just another racist moron. You are
evidently too stupid to realise that it is trash like American Patriot
that you are seeing on TV -- not the regular joe hispanics whose
families have been citizens for generations.
Then maybe Joe Hispanic should come out against illegal immigrants,
instead of supporting them. I think LULAC and MALDEF are made up of
Hispanics Joes. What do you think, Mexican lover?
Maybe you could pull your head out of your ***** and get to know some
Americans who happen to be hispanic.
Sorry, maggot. You're just the flip side of American Patriot. You're
both racist trash.
That may be, but I can't tell an illegal Mexican from a legal Mexican,
and would be arrested if I asked.
Immigration 101, halfwit.
That's what I would expect from an idiot like you.
"Mexican" is a nationality, not a race.
So that means I'm not a racist?
No, it means that your a particularly stupid racist.
Keep working at it, you may acquire a minimum level of intelligence
someday.
Anyone stupid enough to be a cop, can't spell the word intelligence
without a spell checker.
Sorry, maggot. I didn't realise that a 145 IQ made me stupid.
All you have to do is go back and read your previous posts.
Second, no one is going to arrest you for asking. Given your manner,
some of those whose ancestors have been Americans since before the
Civil War may break your nose, but that's another story.
Or they could get their nose broke.
Doubtful. Most of you loudmouthed racist trash are all mouth, no
matter which side of the question that you're on.
Sort of like a cop.
And when was the last time that you stepped into a dangerous situation
for the sake of a complete stranger, or simply for the concept of law
and order?
You shouldn't run your mouth unless you can pay the bill, loudmouth.
When was the last time you did it, out of uniform, alone, and unarmed?
You cops are just like gangbangers, a bunch of cowards, unless you have
a weapon, and your buddies to back you up.
I have stepped into dangerous situations several times, and got my *****
kicked once.
I have heard enough of your *****.
Says one idiot to another.

Eugene Arnold Obregon
He gallantly gave his life for his country
Medal of Honor Recipient
Rank and organization:
Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps,
Company G, 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.).
Place and date: Seoul, Korea, 26 September 1950.
Entered service at: Los Angeles, Calif.
Born: 12 November 1930, Los Angeles, California.
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life
above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Company G,
in action against enemy aggressor forces.
While serving as an ammunition carrier of a machinegun squad in
a marine rifle company which was temporarily pinned down by hostile
fire,
Pfc Obregon observed a fellow marine fall wounded in the line of
fire.
Armed only with a pistol, he unhesitating dashed from his
covered position to the side of the casualty.
Firing his pistol with 1 hand as he ran, he grasped his comrade by
the arm with his other hand and, despite the great peril to himself
dragged him to the side of the road.
Still under enemy fire, he was bandaging the man's wounds when
hostile troops of approximately platoon strength began
advancing toward his position.
Quickly seizing the wounded marine's carbine, he placed his own body
as a shield in front of him and lay there firing accurately and
effectively into the hostile group until he himself was fatally
wounded by enemy machinegun fire.
By his courageous fighting spirit, fortitude, and loyal devotion to
duty,
Pfc. Obregon enabled his fellow marines to rescue the wounded man and
aided essentially in repelling the attack, thereby sustaining and
enhancing
the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
He gallantly gave his life for his country.- Hide quoted text -
