COMBAT STORIES FROM Vietnam

Bob Ballagh | 2nd Battalion, 19th Field Artillery, 1st Cavalry Division - Army

5:59   |   The artillery was moved north in anticipation of a battle and what a battle it turned out to be, the Tet offensive. It was a good reason to use new classified ammunition and Bob Ballagh's unit was the first to fire it. It was also during that operation that he received the Soldier's Medal for pulling soldiers to safety from a fire.
