In early January 1942, a battlefield mess sergeant realized a vital artillery gun had been silenced.

Risking his life, he ran more than half a mile across an active battlefield, manned the large gun, and spent the next 2 hours firing it, alone, on the enemy.

His actions that day would earn him the Medal of Honor.

But his legacy far outreaches his heroism of that day.

This is the story of Jose Calugas, the only Filipino in WW2 to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.
