On Nov. 20, 1968, Michael J. Crescenz of Philadelphia walked into an ambush on Nui Chom. His squad was pinned down when he made a snap decision to grab an M-60 machine gun and charge the bunkers. He took out three bunkers, killing six enemy soldiers who may have been dumbstruck in their last seconds to see a lone American running into their fusillade of bullets. As he charged a fourth bunker, Crescenz, 19, was killed. For his heroism, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
