"Vietnam Veteran Receives Long-Awaited Medal of Honor for Daring Helicopter Rescue"
TL;DR Summary
President Biden will award the Medal of Honor to Captain Larry L. Taylor, a former United States Army officer, for his conspicuous gallantry during the Vietnam War. In June 1968, Taylor, serving as a team leader of a helicopter light-fire team, bravely strafed the enemy and successfully extracted a surrounded long-range reconnaissance patrol using his two-man Cobra helicopter, a feat never attempted before. His actions reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
