(Previously Aired on 8/27/2019) The battle at Tam Ky and Nui Yon Hill in Vietnam on May 13-15, 1969 is retold by the surviving medic Jim "Doc" McCloughan. His rescue of the wounded is recounted as are other battlefield acts of bravery. He explains also to host Jim Fausone the 47-year odyssey after the battle to upgrade his Bronze Star "V" to a Distinguished Service Cross but ultimately elevated to the Medal of Honor. His Lieutenant never let this issue go and it took over 6 years to get all the necessary signatures and work through the Army boards. McCloughan made a deal with God that if he survived he would tell his Dad he loved him, and be the best coach, father, and husband possible. He honored that deal as he explains in this candid interview. Jim McCloughan is an honest, direct, and humble guy.
