James Anderson - Los Angeles Native, USMC Vietnam War Veteran, Medal of Honor Recipient
Manage episode 317646810 series 2970124
Destined to be a pastor, this Los Angeles native put college on hold to instead join the Marines. Because the US was in the middle of the Vietnam War, it as almost certain that James would be sent overseas.
Only a few months after basic training, Anderson and his platoon were sent to recover a recon patrol who was under intense enemy fire. After a single act of bravery, Anderson went down in history as the first African American Marine to receive the military's highest honor.
