The Vietnam War equals controversy: Some sources say Robert L. Howard; some say Joe Hooper.
ONE
Was. USS Enterprise (CV-6) was re-cycled (scrapped) in 1959. The current most decorated USN warship is the Iowa Class battleship USS New Jersey. The New Jersey has the distinction of being the world's last battleship to conduct combat operations as a traditional battleship; all guns, no missiles. New Jersey fired nearly 6,000 16" shells during her tour on the gunline in Vietnam.
Equal opportunity employment occurred AFTER the Vietnam War. US Females performed medical/supportive duties in the US Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War.
During the war, every unit went to the field with a medic, even tank units had medics riding on them. So that would make thousands of medics. See a medic in Vietnam website; they'll more than likely have a number of combat medic badges issued during the war. Those badges may or may not have been created during the Vietnam War. The infantryman's CIB was created in 1944 (WWII).
No, there is no"list"of everyone that was decorated during this time period. It would be thousands and thousands of names if there were such a list.
"One" of many highly decorated helicopter crews, was MAJ. Stephen Pless and his three (Huey) UH-1 crewmen, of the US Marine Corps.
No. The most decorated US holiday would be Christmas.
