Today in Medal of Honor history (1969): U.S. Army Capt. Kern Dunagan leads an attack to relieve Fire Support Base Professional in Quang Tin Province. Despite taking a serious bullet wound to the face, a broken ankle, and gunshots breaking both of his arms during the intense two-day battle against the North Vietnamese Army, Dunagan refuses medical evacuation and returns to the battlefield to search for soldiers and carries a wounded comrade to the fire base.
