In 1969, 23-year-old James McCloughan served as a private first class combat medic in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. But at Tam Ky, the enemy constantly fired upon his unit for 48 hours.
McCloughan did not stop fighting. He risked his life and managed to save 10 fellow soldiers on nine occasions during those two days.
For that heroic behavior, President Donald Trump awarded McCloughan with the Medal of Honor.
