Name of the story is moving from 3 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.400 rear to front. Richard Pittman was fifteen years old when 4 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.920 he heard John F. Kennedy's ask not what your country 5 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.480 can do for you speech and decided he would do 6 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.559 something for his country when he got out of school. 7 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.359 After graduation and high school in nineteen sixty three, he 8 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.679 tried to enlist in the Army, the Navy, and the 9 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.640 Air Force, but was turned down by each because he 10 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:41.520 was legally blind in one eye. However, he managed to 11 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:46.439 get accepted by the Marine Reserves. Then, at one meeting 12 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.520 during his Marine recruiting training, an officer asked him, anyone 13 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.159 present want to go active duty right now? Pittman immediately 14 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.200 raised his hand. In the spring of nineteen sixty six, 15 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.680 Lance Corporal Pittman went to Vietnam as part of the 16 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.280 fifth Marines. By Midsummer, his unit was involved in a 17 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.760 search and destory operations in northern part of South Vietnam, 18 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:17.159 near the DMZ, which separated the south from the north. 19 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.920 On July twenty fourth, Pittman was at the rear of 20 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.680 his company's column near the DMZ when heavy gunfire erupted. 21 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.680 His company had been ambushed by elements of the North 22 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.000 Vietnamese Army in one of its first major incursions into 23 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.840 South Vietnam. As Pittman and a Navy corman started forward, 24 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.159 he almost colliding with the marine standing in the trail 25 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.959 holding an M sixty machine gun. Pittman said, you going 26 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.760 to use that weapon? The marine stared back blankly. Pittman 27 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.680 grabbed the gun, several belts of ammunition, and moved towards 28 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.359 the heaviest of the fighting. He was surprised by a 29 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.000 number of dead and wounded Marines littering both sides of 30 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.480 the trail. 31 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.719 When his helmet was shot off, he hit the dirt. 32 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.920 He saw the corpsman get up and tried to get 33 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.360 to the wounded man, but he was hit and went 34 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.240 down also. As Pittman continued on, he quickly destroyed two 35 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.919 positions that shot at him, then standing up, cradling the 36 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.520 machine gun in the crook of his arm and firing 37 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.479 as he went. Pittman moved to the head of the column, 38 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.599 where the North Vietnamese regulars were rushing his beleaguered comrades. 39 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.439 As he reached the position. 40 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.319 Where the leading marine had fallen. He was suddenly attacked 41 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.199 by thirty to forty of the enemy. He calmly established 42 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.039 a position in the middle of the trail, and with 43 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.039 bullets whizzing past his head, he raked the advancing. 44 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.319 Enemy with still the stading machine gun fire. 45 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.680 He continued firing until he felt a concussion on his side. 46 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.280 At first he thought he had been wounded, but his 47 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.240 gun had been struck by an enemy fire and disabled. 48 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.000 He dropped it, picked up an AK forty seven from 49 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.080 one of the enemy soldier and he started wailing away, 50 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.000 and he continued to fire until he ran out of ammunition. Next, 51 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.639 he picked up a forty five pistol left by a 52 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.159 fallen marine, and he used it to kill two more 53 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.639 of the enemy soldiers as. 54 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.159 They were almost on top of him. 55 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.840 Finally out of ammunition altogether, he threw his only grenade. 56 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.479 The remaining North Vietnamese retreated. Back at his own lines, 57 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.919 he discovered that two thirds of his company had been 58 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.879 killed or wounded in the intense engagement. Richard Pittman was 59 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.159 discharged from the Marines in nineteen sixty eight, who went 60 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.000 back home to Stockton, California, looking for work.
