He had a great smile . . .
He was all by himself, sometimes squatting and firing, sometimes standing. - US Army Lt. Remer Brinson describing Medal of Honor recipient PFC Emory Bennett
The youngest of four brothers, Emory L. Bennett, was the kind of kid everyone respected and admired. Everyone who knew him would tell you he was reliable, a high-school friend told the Daytona Beach News-Journal in 1993.
Growing up in Cocoa, Florida, Bennett loved to fish and hunt. When he wasnt at school or working at the family's Bennett Fish Market, he was out in the rivers and inlets near his home enjoying nature. He loved the outdoors, his friends recalled.
But after graduating from high school in 1948 and enlisting in the US Army two years later, his duck-hunting days came to a sudden end.
Sent to Korea with 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, the young PFC was soon fighting for his life. His courage under fire quickly earned him the reputation as an outstanding combat soldier.
Lt. Remer Brinson, Bennett's platoon commander in 1951, described the young PFC as a person everyone in the unit could count on. He was the most dependable soldier I ever knew, the lieutenant recalled.
But on the night of June 24, 1951, Bennett did something so unpredictable that event his best buddies were taken aback .
At around 2a.m., Bennett and his platoon were suddenly hit by two Chinese battalions. With hundreds of enemy soldiers attacking the American hilltop position near Sobangsan, Korea, and men being killed and blown apart all around him, Bennett fired his Browning Automatic Rifle into the mass of assaulting Chinese. But it wasnt enough.
They threw everything they had against us, Bennetts platoon commander remembered. Within minutes, the enemy soldiers began breaking through the American lines.
What happened next amazed the entire company.
Charging out of his foxhole, PFC Bennett rushed into a hail of small arms, machine gun, and grenade fire and "within full view of the enemy . . . poured crippling fire into the ranks of the onrushing assailants.
Lt Brinson, who would later recommend the PFC for the Medal of Honor, said Bennett acted alone and that nobody ordered him to attack. He just did it because thats how he was.
The men in his platoon now watched as the PFC mowed down waves of Chinese soldiers. He was all by himself, sometimes squatting and firing, sometimes standing.
With the enemy zeroing in on the exposed American, Bennett was hit by enemy fire and fell to the ground. Momentarily unable to move, it looked as if the PFCs one-man defense of the hilltop had come to an end. Seconds later, he jumped to his feet and again began firing into the Chinese.
He went down, got up and then was shot down again by a hail of bullets, his lieutenant remembered.
Even with his company ordered to retreat, Bennett refused to withdraw, shouting for his buddies to leave while he continued to lay down protective fire. It was the last time they saw him alive.
Totally surrounded and with no hope of survival, the young man who had been known as a crack shot during his days as a duck hunter in Florida, kept on firing.
The enemy just threw it all at him then, Brinson said, "but by God, 50 dead commies were laid out in front of him when it was over. Ill never forget it.
Bennetts heroic actions that night saved countless American lives. For his "conspicuous gallantry, unflinching courage, and consummate devotion to duty, PFC Bennett was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
Postscript:
In 1993, a multi-million dollar, 120-bed veterans nursing home was built and named in honor of PFC Bennett. Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, the Emory L. Bennett Veterans Nursing Home now serves as a lasting tribute to Volusia Countys only Medal of Honor recipient.
Fourteen years later in 2007, John Bennett, Emorys only living brother, watched as a bronze statue of his younger brother was unveiled at Riverside Park in Cocoa, Florida.
With the financial help and administrative support of veterans groups, businesses, and city officials in Cocoa, Florida, John's dream of memorializing Emory's heroism in Korea had been realized.
I guess if theres one thing Id like people to remember about my brother, John said, "is that you could rely on him."
Today we pay tribute to Emory Bennett and all the young men "you could rely on who served, sacrificed, and died in Korea. We couldnt have done it without you and will always remember your bravery, selflessness, and devotion to duty!
