In what is being called the first recorded action of a Medal of Honor recipient, author Dan Schilling narrates the relentless, fighting hero: John Chapman.

Air Force Technical Sgt. John A. Chapman proved himself in battle like few others. Posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan in 2002, a new book by Dan Schilling, entitled "Alone at Dawn," chronicles Chapman’s heroic exploits that fateful day.

In a recently-released video, Schilling narrates CIA Predator Drone footage of the fight that ultimately claimed the life of one of America’s ultimate badasses, John Chapman. This is the only known footage of a Medal of Honor recipient in action. Shilling offers incredible insight as Chapman and other team members battle overwhelming enemy forces in the mountains of Afghanistan on March 4, 2002.

You have to watch it to the end to honor this man if only just a very little bit in a very small way. It is hard though to watch and see a man dying no matter how bravely.

“By his heroic actions and extraordinary valor, sacrificing his life for the lives of his teammates, Technical Sergeant Chapman upheld the highest traditions of military service and reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force,” the citation concluded."

Well done, Airman.
