Emory L. Bennett
Emory Lawrence Bennett was a United States Army soldier in the Korean War who received the U.S. militarys highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.
Bennett was born in New Smyrna Beach, Florida on December 20, 1929. His family moved to Indianola on Merritt Island when he was six and to Cocoa in 1937. His parents ran Bennett Fish Market, and he helped catch fish in the nearby Indian River to sell. The family supplemented their diet by duck hunting, and Emory proved a crack shot. He had three older brothers Gary, Marvin and John. Bennett graduated from Cocoa High School in 1948 and enlisted in the Army on July 25, 1950.
