re: Medal of Honor Netflix Series Trailer

I saw a show abouts MOH recipients a few years back, maybe on the History Channel, that interviewed Sammy Davis. I don't remember all of the particulars, but his demeanor was just of a good old boy telling a story at the deer camp. It was like he really didn't want to brag, so he kind of downplayed his action a bit. He was at a firebase that had artillery. Some of the gun crews were killed and some of the gun pits were abandoned. They were getting a lot of pressure from one area of the perimeter were casualties were heavy. He went forward by himself, lowered a 105 to 0 elevation and fired a couple of beehive rounds point blank into the NVA assault. His casual comment was do.ething like "That settled 'em down a bit." Or "That shut them up."

He used an air mattress to cross a small river to retrieve some of the wounded from a listening post who were trying to get back inside the wire. I don't think he could swim, or maybe he wasn't a strong swimmer, but the whole story was just fricking nuts. Meanwhile, ol' Sammy is just making it sound like another day at the office.
