Stories from The Vietnam War
Brave men need no particular time or place to show their courage. In battle, it’s simply who they are, and where they are, whether they’re stone-cold sober, fueled by adrenaline, or even high on marijuana. That was precisely the case with Sergeant Peter Lemon of the U.S. Army. On April 1st, 1970, he helped defend his base against the attacking North Vietnamese soldiers even though he was under the influence of marijuana. Lemon fought them with a machine gun, an assault rifle, hand grenades, and with his bare hands. He fought so hard and bravely that he was awarded the highest decoration that could be given to an American soldier, the Medal of Honor.
