Hiroshi “Hershey” Miyamura, the son of Japanese immigrants, who was awarded the US Medal of Honor for holding off an attack by Chinese troops to allow an American squad to withdraw during the Korean War, has died. He was 97. Host Marco Werman has an appreciation. Correction: The broadcast version of this story incorrectly referred to Gallup as a city in Arizona. Gallup is in New Mexico. We regret the error.
