There always needs to be someone who promotes an MOH review. William Vollano is that person for U.S. Army Lt. Col. Charles Kettles (ret.) who received the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) for his heroic actions in May 1967 after flying four choppers in to save 44 men. Almost 50 years later, Bill recorded Charlie telling his story as part of the Veterans History Project for the Library of Congress. As a volunteer, Bill has recorded about 75 veteran stories. After hearing Charlie's story, Bill decided that the DSC was insufficient recognition and began a 5-year journey to have Kettles' package reviewed for an ultimate upgrade to the MOH. Bill talks to host Jim Fausone about the process and the importance of Congressional help.
