Remembering A Vietnam War Hero Medic

For the full article, click here.

We revisit host Robin Young’s conversation with writer-director Todd Robinson, who tells the story of the fight to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to pararescue medic William Pitsenbarger in the film “The Last Full Measure.”

Young also talks with Fred Navarro, one of the men Pitsenbarger saved.

“The Last Full Measure” is now available via Google Play, Amazon Prime and Youtube.
