Night of Terror Near Lai Khe Tests Medic's Faith
Sergeant Igors MaCalkins of the 1st Infantry Division endures a brutal Viet Cong ambush and bombardment.

His unit loses two medics and suffers others wounded. A U S doctor and fellow medics battle to hold the line while MaCalkins signals for air support and is evacuated by helicopter.
