Medal of Honor recipient Sasser honored for Vietnam bravery
Clarence Sasser, a medic from Company A, 5th Infantry, earned the Medal of Honor for rescuing and treating more than a dozen wounded under heavy fighting on January 10, 1968 in the Mekong Delta. He crawled through rice paddies, carried the wounded, and tended them despite two leg wounds as U.S. aircraft and napalm struck Viet Cong positions. He was wounded again but continued aiding comrades, later receiving the MOH from President Nixon on March 7, 1969.
