Let's not forget our own hero. Private Henry Johnson of the 369th Infantry during WW1. The 369th were the Harlem Hell Fighters. While standing watch in the Argonne Forest, he was attacked by a German raiding party. After he ran out of ammunition, he attacked the Germans with a knife, killing several, wounding others, and receiving 21 wounds himself. Then he rescued another soldier of the 369th. He should have been awarded the MOH.
