Miguel Armando "Nando" Rodriguez-Vera (May 3, 1932 – September 21, 1952) was a United States Army soldier who was killed in the Korean War and a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Old Baldy.

[2] While Rodriguez-Vera's unit attempted to retake the right sector of Old Baldy, it came under heavy fire at close range and was forced back.

That morning, despite suffering from wounds inflicted in a previous battle, Private Rodriguez-Vera voluntarily left the aid station to join his comrades in an attack against well-fortified enemy positions on a hill of great importance.

When the assaulting elements had moved within twenty yards of the enemy positions, they were suddenly trapped by a heavy volume of mortar, artillery and small-arms fire.

The company prepared to make a limited withdrawal, but Private Rodriguez-Vera volunteered to remain behind to provide covering fire.
