Summary
In this installment we highlight Desmond Doss, the WWII conscientious objector who earned a Medal of Honor saving 75 men from certain death serving as a medic at Okinawa, a mom who gave years of service to homeless animals, Marine Sgt Major Dan Daly,, one of the few men to earn two Medal of Honor awards, Rocky Micciolo, one of the few men of the 82nd airborne to make 4 separate combat jumps in WWII, Coastguardsman Bernie Weber and the Chatham crews that rescued the crews of not one but two sinking tankers during a violent winter storm off the coast of Massachusetts, and NYC policeman Frank Serpico, who took a stand against corruption in the department and very nearly paid for it with his life when he was set up for killing by fellow officers during a drug bust.
