MoH Lt.Col. Charles Kettles wont be down!

[69a100]

When a brigade of U.S. troops was ambushed by the North Vietnamese Army in the Song Tra Cau riverbed on the morning of May 15, 1967, Lt. Charles Kettles volunteered to lead the rescue, and he refused, again and again, to back down when faced with a barrage of gunfire.
His aircraft badly damaged, left spilling fuel, and his gunner was severely injured during the treacherous operation.
Nearly 50 years later, Kettles received the Medal of Honor on July 18, 2016.
Kettles died Monday. The war hero from Ypsilanti was 89 years old. RIP Sir Charles!
