For four days under relentless enemy fire in Vietnam, Gary Littrell refused to leave his men.

Surrounded and vastly outnumbered, he directed air support, redistributed ammunition, treated the wounded, and moved through enemy fire to encourage the South Vietnamese Rangers he advised.

His extraordinary courage and leadership earned him the Medal of Honor.

Paul “Bud” Haedike dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot, but fate placed him in the nose of a B-17 Flying Fortress.

On his first combat mission, German fire knocked out two engines, forcing his crew to crash-land in Belgium. Despite his harrowing baptism by fire, Haedike returned to the skies for 22 more missions over Europe.

The Smell That Combat Has

08/20/2026

In the chaotic days following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, U.S. Navy Veteran and Dallas detective Jim Leavelle found himself at the center of one of the most defining moments in American history.

Leavelle first questioned Lee Harvey Oswald in connection with the killing of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit. Two days later, on November 24, 1963, Leavelle was handcuffed to Oswald as detectives escorted him through the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters.

As cameras captured the transfer, Jack Ruby suddenly stepped forward and shot Oswald at close range leaving Leavelle forever connected to an unforgettable moment in American history.
