Sgt. Smith and the Medal of Honor he earned

MSNBC has put together a terrific video essay, narrated on Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith, winner of a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor. Don't let the narrator put you off. If you haven't seen it, you must follow this link to YouTube.

Hat tip: Alan Fraser

Update:

Readers can go here, where they'll find links to the Citation, a Profile of Sgt. Smith, an interactive Battlescape of the engagement during which he earned the Medal of Honor, history of the MOH, a Video section that includes an interview with Sgt. Smith,  presentation of The Medal by Pres. Bush to his widow, and more.
