Stories of Valor: Daniel Carmona

Daniel Carmona was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1967, and served until 1969 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade.
On November 1, 1968, SP4 Carmona's company was on an early morning mission. Carmona's platoon was moving along a trail, with Carmona third in line, when they encountered a booby trap. Carmona and the two soldiers in front of him were all wounded in action.
Along with his Purple Heart, SP4 Carmona received the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal and the Vietnam Ribbon, among other decorations.
U.S. Army Specialist (SP4) Daniel Carmona represented his fellow Purple Heart heroes as Wyoming's honoree during the 2023 Purple Heart Patriot Project Mission.

This is my dad, because of my mom’s passing I was his guest on this honorary mission. The Hall of Honor is an amazing tribute to the men and woman who were awarded the Purple Heart Medal.

My Tio speaking. He and my dad both served in Vietnam. They represent a generation of soldiers sailors airmen and marines that deserve so much more love and respect that they got when they came home. Nice to see these moments where they can be honored appropriately.
