Master Sgt. John Chapman immortalized at hometown commemoration

Thousands of spectators gather for the U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. John Chapman Medal of Honor commemoration ceremony, Sept. 30, 2018, at the amphitheater in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. On March 3, 2002, Chapman was killed during Operation ANACONDA, when he knowingly sacrificed his life to fend off a rocket-propelled grenade attack on an incoming MH-47 “Chinook” helicopter carrying a quick reaction force of U.S. Army Rangers and Air Force Special Tactics Airmen.
