Rest in peace, Soldier.
The U.S. Army mourns the loss of Medal of Honor Recipient Captain Larry L. Taylor, who was one of our own - an American Soldier who never accepted defeat, never quit and never left a fallen comrade.
Taylor served in Vietnam from August 1967 to August 1968, flying some of the first Bell AH1-G Cobra attack helicopters in combat. Serving with D Troop (Air), 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 1st Infantry Division, Taylor flew over 2,000 combat missions in UH-1 and Cobra helicopters. He was engaged by enemy fire 340 times and was forced down five times. The U.S. Army awarded him at least 50 combat decorations, including the Silver Star, 43 Air Medals, a Bronze Star, and two Distinguished Flying Crosses.
We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.

During a June 30 ceremony at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, commander of U.S. Army Africa, fastened the Silver Star to Begaye’s uniform – recognition for his leadership and valor during an enemy ambush Nov. 9, 2007 in Nuristan Province.Begaye’s unit had just met with local Afghan leaders. They were hiking eastward along a small path on rugged terrain when his squad, his platoon’s headquarters sections and a squad of Afghan National Army soldiers began taking fire from enemy positions above. Pinned down at first, Begaye was struck in the arm while retuning fire and directing his men. Begaye bound over a cliff, calling to his troops to follow him down the rocky slope to find cover.“Today, we honor a non commissioned officer whose bold actions turned the tide of battle and saved the day…whose courage under fire and fierce loyalty to his men still astounds us all,” Garrett said. “Outnumbered, wounded, and initially pinned down in the kill zone of an enemy ambush – he didn’t hesitate to leap forward, literally, and take charge of the fight.''
