Jimmy Mosconis was wounded while fighting in Vietnam while an accomplished leader of soldiers as a Non Commissioned Officer (NCO).  In May 1969 he organized US troops to rescue Jan Scruggs, Founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, who was badly wounded and unable to continue reloading his rifle  to fire at the North Vietnamese soldiers.  Jimmy tells the story of being a senior NCO late in the Vietnam War.
