 In Vietnam, there were a lot of situations where you didn't know who the enemy was. We were not in lines, we were out in areas of operation on our own. The day was May 10th, 1970. We pursued a direction given to us by battalion, which we thought would lead us to another village. Two platoons forward where it hit, once it started, we knew more was coming. Armed on at least two sides, soldiers from Bravo Company 3rd Battalion 506 inventory regiment were fighting to survive. The firing was intense, AK-47s, SKSs, RPGs, and hand grenades. A soldier fighting in the rear of the formation, specialist for Leslie H. Sabo Jr., may have changed the momentum in favor of the Americans. He protected one of these men who had been wounded by a grenade. Les took several shots in his body. He threw at least one grenade that killed two of the enemy. Leslie was mortally wounded, but his actions saved many lives. Leslie really saved that side of the perimeter. I think the enemy's intention was to overrun us and everybody gave it a tremendous effort, fighting for their fellow soldiers. It wasn't necessarily for God and country, it was for the buddy to the left, the buddy to the right. Very proud of what the men did that day. For his actions, Leslie H. Sabo Jr. will be posterously awarded the Medal of Honor. I would say to Les now, Les, thank you for the lives you've saved. We miss you. We love you.
