Texas--forever proud of its heroes of
the glorious past--lacks not in present-
day heroes, among whom is Master
Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez (Ret.) of El
Campo who performed some of the
most spectacular acts of bravery under
fire in the Vietnam War.
For his heroism he received the
nation's highest honor for personal
valor, The Medal of Honor, presented
by President Reagan earlier this year.
The Texas Press Association will
present to him, with gratitude and
pride, its most prestigious honor, The
Texan of the Year Award, during
speeial ceremonies at the association's
102nd summer convention June 26 in
Fort Worth.
Sergeant Benavidez will be the 12th
Texan in the association's long history
to be so honored.
Benavidez will be accompanied to
Fort Worth for the June 26th event by
his wife, 1,ala, and their three children,
Denise, 14, Yvette, II and Noel, 8.
Participating in the ceremony will be
TPA past president, Fred Barbee,
publisher of the El Campo Leader-
News, and TPA's current president,
James Roberts, publisher of the An-
drews County News in Andrews.
Over 4O0 Texas publishers, families
and guests will be on hand for the red,
white and blue event at the Cowtown's
new Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Benavidez, though retired after
spending 22 years in the U.S. Army, is
now spending most of his time talking
to youth groups and schools, promoting
pride in this nation and trying to rekin-
dte"good, old-fashioned pa triotism."
Benavidez has never lacked this par-
ticular patriotism, as ribbon upon rib-
bon on his uniform attest.
The act directly responsible for his
receiving The Medal of Honor was his
remarkable courage, physical stamina
and selfless determination to save a 12-
man Special Forces Reconnaissance
Team, all of which had been caught in
ambush on a jungle battlefield in 1968 in
South Vietnam. Benavidez was with the
5th Special Forces (Green Berets)
Group. He alone volunteered to try for
what seemed to be an impossible
rescue--and was wounded again and
again, but managed to pull at least
eight of his comrades, some also woun-
ded, from enemy fire and get them into
a second pickup aircraft which flew
them to safety. The first helicopter,
directed to the area by Benavidez, had
been shot down by the enemy.
Most Medals of Honor are given in the
field or immediately thereafter. But in
the aftermath of Benavidez actions, he
was awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Army's second highest
decoration.
However, a number of years later,
when buddies--and Publisher Barbee--
recalled his special heroism, they
pushed for the highest. It took a few
months, but when buddy after buddy
stepped forward to hail Benavidez as
their life-saver under the most
dangerous circumstances, Reagan, in
an emotional presentation earlier this
year, presented him
