Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. x, 246 pages. Frontis map. Appendix: History of the Medal of Honor by F. E. Ferguson. Notes. Bibliography, A stirring account of Vietnam Congressional Medal of Honor winners, gallant heroes of an unconventional war--soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines. Lowry interweaves each hero's story with the backdrop of news and headlines of the times. Timothy Lowry chronicles in detail from interviewing eyewitnesses the extreme conditions, training and bravery surrounding the events that led to Medals of Honor during the Viet Nam war. This should be required reading to understand and appreciate what our military men are willing to do in defense of our country. Interviews with men who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War recall the horrors and costs of the war, the men and women who died, and the difficulty of returning to a homeland caught up in anti-war fervor. Frederick Edgar Ferguson (born August 18, 1939) is a former United States Army warrant officer and later officer, as well as a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration-the Medal of Honor-for his actions in the Vietnam War while a chief warrant officer 3. Ferguson joined the United States Army from Phoenix, Arizona in 1958, and by January 31, 1968 was a chief warrant officer 3 in command of a UH-1 Huey as part of Company C, 227th Aviation Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). On that day, Ferguson voluntarily piloted his aircraft through intense enemy fire to rescue the crew and passengers of a downed helicopter in Hu, Republic of Vietnam. In addition to the Medal of Honor-the first awarded to a United States Army aviator in Vietnam, and the first in modern army aviation history-Ferguson was awarded two Silver Stars, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star Medal, and 39 Air Medals. Ferguson's additional honors include Military Aviator of the Year ("Kitty Hawk" Award of the Wright Brother's Committee), the President's Award, the U.S. Army Aviation Hall of Fame, and the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame. He was also honored by the US Postal Service along with 23 other Vietnam Medal of Honor recipients with a limited edition stamp. Ferguson served in the Arizona Army National Guard, rising to the rank of major before reverting to warrant officer rank in order to continue instructing in the UH-1. Ferguson also served as Deputy Director of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services in 2000.
