In this episode, I interviewed Arnold Hughbrook Sampson Jr. who served in the US army with a Medical Detachment (Helicopter Ambulance) in the Republic of Vietnam. We talked about the ups and downs he faced during that period and what he does now. It was an insightful interview with him.

Arnold was awarded several commendations that were part of a team/crew effort. However, his two Purple Heart awards, awarded after separate injuries from shrapnel, and his Broken Wing Award were more singular and very personal. During his short year of service, he was also awarded the Bronze Star, at least five awards of the Air Medal with "V" device for heroism, a Distinguished Flying Cross, and a Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star device for heroism.After returning to the States, he earned an FAA commercial helicopter pilot's license while stationed at Fort Ord, California.
