This Courage Conversation with Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant Sammy Davis was recorded last fall during a special Veterans Day visit to the National Medal of Honor Museum’s construction site. Known as “the real-life Forrest Gump,” Sgt. Sammy Davis talks to host Mo Barrett about what drove his courage in Vietnam, the advice he gives to students, and his moment of Hollywood stardom.
