Title: "Six Hours In Hell"
Roy Benavidez was severely wounded during his battle in which he earned the
Medal of Honor. He often referred to it as his "Six Hours In Hell".
During that time he was repeatedly wounded - Army medical records indicate
about 37 wounds by rifle fire, machine gun fire, grenade and mortar
shrapnel, and by bayonet attack. After receiving all these
wounds, he carried several men to the rescue helicopter and finally
collapsed on the floor as the craft lifted off.
This sculpture
captures the essence of those final moments on the battlefield.
