With more than 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients, 39 of those have walked and trained on the grounds of Fort Bragg or Camp Mackall.

Sgt. 1st Class Eugene Ashley Jr. was a soldier with the C Co., 5th Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces Command, when he died Feb. 7, 1968, in Vietnam.

When communications were lost, Ashley directed airstrikes and artillery support and led five assaults against the enemy — exposing himself to enemy grenades, and machine gun and automatic-weapons fire.
