Captain Or Ben-Yehuda of the Israeli Defense Forces has cemented a legacy that will endure well past her lifetime. The young, decorated IDF Captain was in charge of a company of soldiers when they were violently attacked by nearly two dozen terrorists near the Egyptian border.

Due to her leadership and bravery, she and her men were able to survive.

Is she the firs female to receive the Medal of Valor?

Actually, even though she was wounded, she did fight them off single handedly until help arrived.
