Sergeant Ola L. Mize certainly received enough experience in combat. He survived some rigorous fighting with the enemy and ended up with a flak in tatters and smoking. One brave soldier and great leader of his men. Very deserving of the Medal of Honor.

I had the honor and privilege of meeting then Major Mize at Ft. McClellan, Alabama where I was assigned as a 2nd Lt. before being assigned to Vietnam in October, 1968. I had the highest respect for Maj. Mize, both as a person and a decorated Army officer. I held him in awe but he was as 'down to earth' person that you would ever want to meet.

The outpost was defende by a company. A company has four platoons. Not all officers were killed or wounded.
Th company command post called in all the defensive artillery.

I was a Spec. 4 with Co. D, 1st Airborne Battle
Group, 325 Infantry of the 82nd Airborne Division
in 1959 when we were told that a new 2/lt was assigned
to the company. Word got out that his name was Mize
and that he had received received the Medal of Honor
for killing a bunch of chinese in Korea. No details.
I saw him a couple of times after that and have never
forgotten him.
