A Cry for Help - One Veteran’s Battle with the Army Awards Branch to Recognize the Men and Women Who Fought for Our Country

This textbook is the true account of three soldiers who wouldn’t stop fighting the enemy and never raised the white flag during a firefight. One soldier, an Army Aviator, was shot down and fell 800 feet in his burning helicopter. Another was an infantry Sergeant stationed at LZ Bert when it was overrun by the North Vietnamese Army. The third was a retired Sergeant from the USAF who was wounded in a motor attack on the American Embassy. All three men had been wounded more than once in firefights and received impact awards for heroism during combat with the enemy. All have been denied the wearing of the Purple Heart by the Chief of the Army Awards Branch. This book contains images of research papers, letters and pictures the author used to verify their stories of the Vietnam War.
