Scruggs says all these decades later, it’s always nice to see the man responsible for getting him home.
WASHINGTON - Fifty-three years ago, Jimmy Mosconis saved Jan Scruggs’ life in Vietnam.
“My right arm stopped working. I was filled with shrapnel, and I needed somebody to rescue me,” Scruggs recounted being injured in Vietnam. “And Jimmy was the guy who came along. He was our platoon sergeant at the time.”Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C“It was worth just seeing him, and seeing somebody I was with 53 years ago,” said Mosconis. “It’s hard to believe. It’s hard to believe we’re getting old.”. He began the fund that led to the memorial wall that exists today.
“I just believe we all need healing in our lives. And particularly people who have been through wars. This is for them,” said Scruggs.Mosconis helped bring a similar statue to Florida“The only reason we have the one in Apalachicola is because of him,” said Mosconis. “He talked me into it.” ”When you see somebody who you haven’t seen for decades and decades, within five minutes it’s like, nothing ever happened. The 50 years didn’t go by. You’re just completely bonded,” said Scruggs.
