Medal of Honor recipient Rudy Hernandez dead at 82

"Cpl. Rudy Hernandez cheated death on the battlefields of Korea 62 years ago. But the Medal of Honor recipient and Fayetteville resident couldn't live forever. The 82-year-old Hernandez died early Saturday at Womack Army Medical Center, according to friends.

Cpl. Hernandez was honored last month as grand marshal of Fayetteville's Veterans Day Parade....."

RIP Trooper

RIP, CPL Hernandez.

Thank you for your sacrifice and your service above and beyond the call of duty.

You have fought a good fight, you have finished your course, and you have kept the faith.

You will not be forgotten.
