Join us as we delve into the extraordinary story of Lt. Col. Gerald Young, a true American hero who displayed unparalleled courage during the Vietnam War. On November 9, 1967, as a rescue helicopter pilot, Young flew through intense enemy fire to save a pinned-down Special Forces team. Despite his helicopter being hit and crashing, Young evaded enemy capture for over 17 hours before being rescued, earning him the Medal of Honor.
