Sergeant Willie Estrada’s family is campaigning for the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, to recognize his bravery during the Korean War. Estrada, who died in 1952 defending his tank crew near Bongowol, North Korea, was previously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Nearly 74 years after his death, his relatives are actively collaborating with legislators to comprehensively document his heroic actions. They believe the Medal of Honor is a fitting tribute to his ultimate sacrifice and unwavering courage. The family hopes to ensure future generations understand and appreciate Estrada’s valor. This ongoing effort aims to properly acknowledge a long-overdue recognition of his exceptional service.
