He died alone on a mountain, preventing to guard his fellow warriors.
Though he was bleeding to loss of life after being wounded a number of occasions, and coming out and in of consciousness, he continued to combat, killing enemy fighters to ensure Military Rangers flying in wouldn’t be shot out of the sky.
In 2018, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Sgt. Chapman and famous, “On this remaining act of supreme braveness, John gave his for all times for his fellow warriors.”
