On 13 May, McCloughan's company air assaulted into a landing zone near Tam Kỳ and Nui Yon Hill, coming under small arms and machine gun fire from defending North Vietnamese Army (NVA) forces. Two helicopters were downed over the landing zone, one of which crashed around 100 meters (110 yards) from Company C's positions. A rescue helicopter was prevented from landing due to fierce enemy fire, and a squad was sent out to rescue the pilot and crew. Upon reaching the crash site, they saw a badly wounded soldier sprawled on the ground, and McCloughan ran 100 meters (110 yards) to him through an open field, dodging the fire of his unit and a charging NVA platoon. After reaching the wounded soldier, McCloughan carried him over his shoulder and ran back to Company C, thus saving the man from capture or death.[3]
Later that afternoon, the company's 2nd Platoon was ambushed by a large NVA unit, suffering heavy casualties, while conducting reconnaissance near Nui Yon Hill. As airstrikes were attacking nearby NVA, McCloughan entered a trench and saw two unarmed American soldiers huddling near a bush. He handed his gun to another soldier, jumped over the trench's berm, and ran close to the ground towards the two soldiers, whom he pulled back into the trench despite being hit with shrapnel from the explosion of a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). Ignoring an order to remain in the trench, he rescued wounded soldiers from the kill zone four more times during a NVA assault. Bleeding heavily, McCloughan treated the wounded and prepared them for evacuation, refusing evacuation even though the NVA heavily outnumbered the American troops.[3]
On 14 May, the 1st Platoon was ambushed while advancing on Nui Yon Hill, and its medic was killed in the fighting, which left McCloughan as the company's sole medic. While treating two soldiers in an open rice paddy, he was wounded a second time by small arms fire and RPG shrapnel. In the closing phases of the attack, two NVA companies and 700 VC attacked the company's position from three sides. With complete disregard for his own safety, he braved enemy fire numerous times to bring out wounded soldiers, simultaneously fighting the enemy. After supplies ran low, McCloughan volunteered to hold a blinking light in an exposed position to mark a location for a night resupply drop, remaining steadfast in the enemy fire.[3]
In the predawn darkness of 15 May, McCloughan used a grenade to disable the enemy RPG position, and continued to fight and eliminate enemy soldiers, while treating multiple casualties. During the night, he kept two critically wounded soldiers alive before organizing the dead and wounded for daylight evacuation. McCloughan was credited with saving the lives of ten soldiers from his company during the actions of 13-15 May.

Does anyone know why the 1st Lt chose to have that SgtMaj present the award to him? As opposed to the Lt Gen?
In Every Clime and Place. You will always find us on the job. The World's Finest US Marines. Semper Fi
Mr. Murphy was a heroic everyman.
Who else thinks this should be expanded into a 2 hour epic iMax movie event?
Reminds me when Hercules took on the hydra.
I think I know all the words. "It is more than a trial by fire. It is a right of passage, a challenge to join the elite. And if you succeed, if you can master your fear, out smart your enemy, and never yield, even in yourself, you will be changed forever. The few, the proud, the Marines!"
I'll add my voice to others. Eugene Sledge's book "With the Old Breed" is a classic memoir of men in combat and a tribute to his unit the 1st Marine Division and what they did in the Pacific in WW2
Not only did Audie Murphy have extraordinary courage, but he was also an underrated actor and a remarkable human being.. We all could take a lesson.
We used to be a nation
Audie Murphy a true Grit war hero from the ww2❤👍🏻
I have a copy of “the Old Breed” on the way. It replaces one long lost.
Rest In Peace, Sledgehammer.
I’d sign up
I love that the marines leaned heavily into medieval nerd stuff for a straight decade lol
The US Government has Rejected Jehovah God and Jesus Christ and is Serving the Devil. No Respect. Jeremiah 17:5. Did Eugene Sledge Volunteer, or was he Drafted into the military?
❤️🤍💙👋🐎🐎🐎
What is he saying in morse code?
Yes Norman Schwarskopf ✍️💚🌹💕 Simbull 👑☀️ for Niw Iraks pepel 💚🌹🌹
The real heroes are not the huge John Wayne ot the Rock type men. Audi Murphy was turned away by both the Marines and the Navy as he was considered to small and weak. He was 5'4" tall and weighed 110 lbs. He did not need to be huge in body, he was huge in heart and soul. The most decorated soldier in US history, who made 1st Lieutenant with no highschool, let alone college. Real men come in all sizes.
Respect!
Bush,,obama,and Netanyahu Biggest war Criminal this Generation if you Agree like My Comments..
When order was preserved. Today dis order is promoted …. Sickening
Oh holy shit. Clearly a horrific accident unintended on the part of the animal. Tragic. What incredible skill exhibited by that young man. Such a loss.
THE Grifter.
Awe shut up! Loved this President. Besides President Washington he was the best.
Sam say he holds the best record for bowling to this day. Some say it’s catastrophic 💀
Wouldn't fit with today's WOKE Corps.
Hew was murdered. Russian bandits. He must be best President USA. But this a story
It's quite funny. Mr. Murphy asks the host for clarification on the "new picture" question, in reality his true fame is not through Hollywood but through his actions in WWII.
Little Texas they called him but he took out 3 German machine gun positions by Himself!
These were United States Marines. This is what you need to use as a recruiting theme. Let young men know their past so the future Marine is just as great
Thank you for posting this video.
jews killed patton
What a great man and Marine. 1000% different from cowardly Donald Trump.
Please don’t compare a Marine to any politician ever again. You’re comparing apples to screwdrivers. Politicians start wars, marines, soldiers and troops fight them, then politicians step in to loose them. It’s been that way for decades now. Trump is a traitor and criminal but he doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentence with Sledge.
Well shucks Lee my old man died of agent orange poisoning and my brother came home from Iraq and committed suicide .Maybe you should tell your brothers how our government will use them and throw them away,like garbage.because wealthy cowards started the wars my courageous family fought in.FOR THEIR CORRUPTION AND CORPORATE GREED. THANKS LEE
He was such a great hero,and talented man. Thank you great hero !!!!!
'The Pacific' was well done and could have been multiple episodes longer if it was not for money. They included the viewer in the personalities of each of the Marines and when Capt. Haldane was taken by a sniper, we felt the sadness as he was ingrained in our interest of the show.
It is a devastating shame that Murphy survived WWII…Only to lose his life in a private plane crash. Terrible Tragedy…
One of the best ever but I am marine yet respect should be shown 🇺🇲💯🇺🇲💯🇺🇲
Torture
Semper Fi!
🐀🐀🐀🐀
It would be an honor to visit his grave site at Arlington National Cemetery - RIP
Ad Arlington potrai trovare anche la tomba di una SS finlandese: Lauri Törni. Era un anticomunista che ora riposa vicino a JFK.
‘T-O-R-T-U-R-E’
The saying goes. Despite overwhelming fear you go forward anyway. That is the definition of bravery.
A brave, humble man💪
None of these men were captured, some surrendered themselves and the others were simply rounded up!
The man that never had a physical injury during the bloodiest war in ww2
Sledge was nothing but cannon fodder for Wall St. banksters. Patriotism? How are you patriotic when you are fighting to make money for Wall St. parasites? Don't believe me. Just read USMC General Smedley Butler's book "War Is A Racket!" He was one of the most decorated Marines in US history but after he retired he decided to tell the truth about all of that patriotic rubbish. Or how about Gen. William T. Sherman during our Civil War: "I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." - Gen. William T. Sherman, Union Civil War Commander
Kaput!!!!!!!!
