Nicholas J. Cutinha
Nicholas Joseph Cutinha (January 13, 1945 – March 2, 1968) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.
==Biography==
Cutinha joined the Army from Coral Gables, Florida in 1967,〔(Service Profile )〕 and by March 2, 1968, was serving as a Specialist Four in Company C, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. During a firefight on that day, near Gia Dinh in the Republic of Vietnam, Cutinha held the enemy at bay with his machine gun and provided suppressive fire to allow for the evacuation of wounded soldiers, despite his own serious wounds. He was killed during the battle and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.
Cutinha, age 23 at his death, was buried in Fort Denaud Cemetery, Fort Denaud, Florida.
Cutinha's Medal of Honor is under the custodianship of American Legion Post 130 in LaBelle, Florida, where it is on public display. American Legion Post 130 (Florida) is the only known American Legion Post with custodianship of a Medal of Honor. Cutinha's medal was presented to the Post by his mother so that it could be displayed and so all who view it might remember that "the price of freedom is often paid with the blood of a nation's youth". On November 22, 2008, American Legion Post 130 held a commemorative ceremony in honor of Cutinha.〔(Post 130 Home Page )〕
