President Joe Biden is awarding the Medal of Honor to Capt. Larry Taylor, a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War.
His awarding of the military's highest honor stems from a combat mission on June 18, 1968, when Taylor displayed"conspicuous gallantry" during a mission around the hamlet of Ap Go Cong, Vietnam.
Braving enemy fire, Taylor performed an unprecedented feat, using his Cobra gunship to evacuate the recon team. As the Cobra wasn't designed for transport, the four men grabbed on to the helicopter's rocket pods and skids. Taylor safely lifted the group out of the combat zone and dropped them at a safe location.
