No, I didn’t see that. It does sound incredible. I’m so thankful this man finally got the Medal of Honor.

SOG - on Youtube

Get the book by John Plaster. You will not be able to put it down. At the time, the existence of SOG was classified, and I believe their missions weren’t declassified until the mid or late 80s.

This vet had some general in the chain with a hard-on for medics. He was originally nominated for a DSC, which is the 2nd hghest medal you can get for valor. It was DOWNGRADED to a Bronze Star with Valor, something almost every desk bound Officer in Vietnam received. Then 40 years later his platoon leader knows he was screwed and tries to get him the DSC, which was rightfully upgraded to the Medal of Honor. You finally got what you should have got almost 50 years ago
