Who was the Hero who fought during Vietnam war and save several lives?

Answer 1

Civilian's abuse the term hero. Everybodys a hero, like just wearing a uniform (ANY UNIFORM)! In the real military, in a real war; men have to EARN medals (for the most part; even in the service, political correctness seeps thru the cracks). The US military has "V" devices denoting VALOR, and regular medals such as the Silver Star, Crosses, Medals of Honor, etc. A Bronze Star for example, during Vietnam as one example, could be issued for MERITORIOUS Achievement; if the Bronze Star was for heroism it would have to be accompanied by the metal letter "V" (and this about the actual size of it too). The "V" device would be pinned to the cloth portion of the medal, or the ribbon itself. US Military medals are normally issued with an accompanying ribbon; in the US military, it was the ribbon that was traditionally worn, the medal itself was only worn with the DRESS BLUE uniform. And even then, US military men preferred the ribbons, much easier to wear, maintain, and didn't so much look like a foreign military officer (usually a communist one).

There were thousands of these medals handed out (issued/authorized/awarded/which ever term you wish to use) during the war. And everyone of them REQUIRED a written reason for their issue to those men. Those written reasons were called ORDERS. Without them. No medal!

And if the reason wasn't good enough; request denied!

So, the question is "...who was the hero who fought in Vietnam and saved alot of lives?"

Response: There were thousands of brave US Soldiers, US Marines, US Sailors, US Coast Guardsmen, and US Airmen who fought in Vietnam. And not all of them received medals. Many did, many did not. And nearly all of them that were pinned with the title "hero" saved some human lives.
