Col. Robert “Bob” Howard Sr.’s Story

We are pleased to announce the availability of A Hero Among Heroes – Col. Robert L Howard Sr.’s Story. This is a mini-bio of the life and times of the late Col. Robert “Bob” Howard Sr.

He is considered to be the most decorated American soldier of the Vietnam War, having been nominated 3-times for the Medal of Honor, and recipient of 8-puple hearts for wounds received during his 5-tours in SE Asia.
USFallen.org was honored to be asked to produce this video, to be shown at a memorial service at Ft. Sam Houston, in San Antonio, TX. on Feb. 22, 2010.  We were provided some footage of an interview conducted a few years ago with the Col. He was interviewed by one of his best friends and fishing buddies, Sgt. Maj. (Ret) Benito Guerrero.  Soon we began to compile other media and developing a story line. Veteran groups began submitting footage, photos, and suggested music from the era. There was a specific request to use the Col.’s two favorite songs; The Green Leaves of Summer and The Ballad of the Green Berets.

This version is the memorial tribute given to the Howard Family. It includes photos and video footage of the Medal of Honor interment ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. Also, Sgt. Robert L. Howard Jr., presenting the American flag to his oldest sister.

Part II:

The producer’s background in developing training presentations, and a spiritual influence from the Colonel, the final product is designed to assist any instructor, on the topics of:
• Vietnam War battlefield experience
• How to survive in the battlefield
• Leadership
• Soldier’s moral obligations’
• Advice about joining the military

    Robert Howard is a man’s man. He is the real deal, a real life John Wayne without the cameras. Honor, integrity, fidelity, bravery, brotherhood, vigilance all describe him. Don’t you know that the men he served with would follow him into battle anytime, anywhere. There are not enough honors to bestow on such a warrior. In the interview he suggests that we ignore the media. No truer words have ever been spoken. He knew! It was the media in the 60′s and 70′s that influenced our youth, our politicians and secured our defeat in Viet Nam.

    Thats my father the late Sgm Benito V. Guerrero interviewing Col Howard. The Colonel and my father were great friends. A couple of days before Colonel Howard passed away he told my father that they would see each other again. My father passed away June 15th 2010. RIP Colonel Howard and Sgm Guerrero.
