Nancy Wilson Erwin taught me about this hero.
Henry Erwin's grandson, John, has written a book, worth the read.
Never forget.
Link and brief copied from U.S. Department of Defense (DoD):
#MedalofHonorMonday: Imagine pushing your way through 13 feet of cramped space while you’re on fire, knowing that if you didn’t, your whole crew would likely die. That’s the horrific scenario U.S. Army Master Sgt. Henry Erwin went through during a raid on Japan towards the end of #WWII. Despite all odds, he survived. For his actions, he earned the #MedalofHonor in one of the fastest turnarounds ever completed.
