In honor of Veterans Day, we’re revisiting the story of Michael Crescenz, a man who gave his life to save his fellow soldiers in the Vietnam War. He was the only Philadelphian to receive a Medal of Honor for that war, and his family and friends have done everything they could to make sure he’s remembered - from putting up a statue to renaming the VA Hospital - because his story represents so many others who don’t have anyone left to pass on their legacy. Sabrina Boyd-Surka talks with Michael’s brother and fellow veterans about who he was, how he became a hero, and how a whole generation had their lives shaped by this war.
You can get a copy of Michael’s biography here: “No Greater Love: The Story of Michael Crescenz, Philadelphia's Only Medal of Honor Recipient of the Vietnam War” by John A Siegfried and Kevin Ferris.
