2d ID Vet, Thank you for posting this story. As for the Spec 5 rank, there are several companies that produce historic unit patches and insignia of rank, primarily for the re-enactor market, but they are available.

Vietnam Medic receives MOH Ping

In 24+ year Army career, I never met a medic, PA, nurse, or doc that wasn’t a nice person and who I didn’t like. Maybe I was lucky and beat the odds, but the truth is, my experience tells me that the overwhelming majority of them are solid people. (Met some that got in trouble...(smile)...but that doesn’t mean they weren’t nice people.)

Thanks for the ping and the explanation of the Spec 5 rank insignia.

Thanks for the ping, Brother! I watched the ceremony this afternoon and it did my heart good to see the heroism of a brother Nam Vet and Medic acknowledged after so many years.
