This might be late or redundant, but I just found an amazing story about him, published in March, 2024. The photo is small, but please zoom your browser and read.

Very well written and moving.

He actually died 16 years ago. Here's a more complete story. Vietnam was his third war.

Not to take away from anyone who earned the MOH, but that is what folks do when in an assault helicopter company. I knew three MOH guys from Vietnam. They were the Army helicopter pilot Mike Novosel, and the Navy Seals Norris and Thornton. My cousin was a Doc in Vietnam and introduced me to Novosel. My AHC supported Seal Team 2 (?) at Hoi An, so I was around them from time to time.

Thank you very much for that. Geesh. Pork Chop Hill, too!

If anyone here has not seen "We Were Soldiers", please do. It's a realistic portrayl of the battle of Ia Drang Valley.

As we know, many medals were earned every day, a few of which were actually awarded.
