Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The Rio Grande Valley’s most celebrated war hero is Alfredo “Freddy” Gonzalez, the posthumous Medal of Honor recipient who was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade after a fierce four-day battle with North Vietnamese troops on Feb. 4, 1968, during the Tet offensive. In tribute, his name is seen throughout the Valley on a school, a park, a veterans’ home and streets. And not just in the Valley but elsewhere in the country, including a street at Camp Lejeune military base in Jacksonville, North Carolina. A Navy guided-missile destroyer bearing his name still patrols the seas.
