"In 1966, Bernard Fisher, then an Air Force major and A-1E Skyraider pilot, heroically risked life and limb to rescue a fellow pilot who had crash-landed on an airstrip surrounded by enemy forces.
For his gallantry, Fisher was awarded the nation's highest military honor - the Medal of Honor, becoming the first member of the Air Force to receive the award in Vietnam."

May he RIP.

Check out the mission radio calls. Jon Lucas was my Ops Officer later on and related the story. Lot of heroism all around.

Here's a nickel on the grass to you, Bernie.

The perfect sentiment. Wish I had posted that.
