Retired Army Colonel Sonny Tucker was leading the 173rd Airborne Brigade at “Hill 65” during the Vietnam War. Colonel Tucker says, “Hill 65” is etched in his memory more vividly than his mother’s name, losing 29 of his men that day. Colonel Tucker recalls that morning on the eighth of November 1965, engaging the Viet Cong, General Westmoreland’s visit to the MASH Hospital, and standing in the Rose Garden with President Johnson and Vice President Hubert Humphrey for the Congressional Medal of Honor presentation.
