Spc. 5 James C. McCloughan: Medal of Honor Ceremony

President Donald J. Trump awards the Medal of Honor to former Army Spc. 5 James C. McCloughan, for conspicuous gallantry during the Vietnam War in a ceremony at the White House, July 31, 2017. See more at: www.army.mil/medalofhonor/mcc...
McCloughan received the Medal of Honor for distinguished actions during 48 hours of close-combat fighting against enemy forces near Don Que, Vietnam, from May 13 to 15, 1969. McCloughan was serving with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 196th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, as a private first class combat medic. McCloughan, then 23 years old, voluntarily risked his life on nine separate occasions to rescue wounded and disoriented comrades. He suffered wounds from shrapnel and small arms fire on three separate occasions, but refused medical evacuation to stay with his unit, and continued to brave enemy fire to rescue, treat, and defend wounded Americans.
