Rodriguez is the only of the seven recipients in the 37th to receive the Medal of Honor during World War Two. Rodriguez is the only one who did not receive it posthumously. On their left, you have company attacking the Manila Gasworks, a platoon messenger and company, A . PFC. Joseph Cecchetti, assemble the litter team and runs back and forth, evacuating wounded Americans. On his last trip, he is wounded in the head by a shell fragment. He's still able to pick up the wounded soldier he was carrying Get him back to the American lines before he collapses and dies there. And, uh, Machete is also awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on that day. For the next about a week to 10 days, you have the regiment attacking towards the Manila Bay. The regiment encounters their first sort of big building.
