11APR1966: Serving as a pararescueman in Vietnam, A1C William Pitsenbarger and his unit got a call that an American unit was under heavy fire and taking casualties in need of support. Arriving on scene, Pitsenbarger was lowered through the jungle canopy to assist in the medical treatment of the wounded. Under intense enemy fire, Pitsenbarger got to work. He treated casualty after casualty and began packaging them to be lifted to the waiting helicopters. After the first six had been evacuated, the helicopters left with a full load. As the aircraft was lowering it's basket, it came under intense enemy fire and had to pull out. The crew stayed overhead, telling Pitsenbarger to climb into the hoist to move out of the deadly battlefield. Instead, Pitsenbarger waved off the crew, opting to stay on the ground with the beleaguered unit. For the next few hours, Pitsenbarger alternated between fending off enemy attacks and treating and consolidating the wounded Americans. Despite being wounded three times, he continued to move out in the face of enemy fire to retrieve fallen Soldiers and pull them back into the relative safety of American lines. Throughout the battle, Pitsenbarger never stopped treating the wounded or doing anything else needed to help keep the men alive. Before the end of the battle, A1C William Pitsenbarger would be hit and killed by an enemy sniper. His selfless acts having saved countless american lives, Pitsenbarger would be awarded, posthumously, the Air Force Cross. After review, his award would be upgraded to the Medal of Honor and presented to his family in 2000.

In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast, the crew discusses what military movies veterans need to see in 2018. Since all veterans have their own idea of what makes a good military movie, Blake, Tim, and even the new WATM contributor, Sean chime in what they think makes a solid war film. Is having a war film base on a true story more important than having epic explosions? Or a movie where the real heroes of the day play themselves make for a better cinematic experience? 1. 12 Strong Directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, the film chronicles one of the first Special Forces teams to deploy to Afghanistan after the attacks on 9/11. The SF team joins forces with the Afghan resistance and rides into battle against the Taliban on horseback. 12 Strong brilliantly captures how difficult it is for ground troops to work and fight alongside Afghan freedom fighters against the insurgents due to the language and cultural barrier. The film stars WATM friend Rob Riggle, Chris Hemsworth, Michael Pena, and Michael Shannon. 2. The 15:17 to Paris Directed by Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, the film focuses on the American soldiers who discover a terrorist plot on a train headed to Paris. Interesting enough, the three Americans who thwarted a terrorist attack play themselves in the film alongside actress Jenna Fischer — and we like Jenna Fischer. 3. Tough As They Come Starring and directed by Hollywood legend, Sylvester Stallone, the film tracks Travis Mills (played by Marine veteran Adam Driver), a quadriplegic soldier returning from Afghanistan after his horrific injury. Back in the U.S, Mills has to reconcile with his stepfather while coping with his new life using prosthetic legs and arms. You may recall that Mills' book was a New York Times bestseller. 4. The Last Full Measure Directed by Todd Robinson, the film showcases a Pentagon investigator who teams up with a few veterans of "Operation Abilene" to persuade Congress to award deceased Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger the Medal of Honor 35 years later. Pitsenbarger is accredited with saving over 60 ambushed service members in one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Vietnam War. The film stars Sebastian Stan, William Hurt, and Samual L. Jackson. 5. Ruin Directed by Justin Kurzel, the film chronicles a nameless ex-Nazi captain who navigates the ruins of post-WWII Germany to atone for the crimes he committed during the war by hunting the surviving members of his former SS Death Squad. Gal Gadot is rumored to have a role, but additional information hasn't been released. 6. The 34th Battalion Directed and produced by Luke Sparke, the film follows four friends from Maitland, New South Wales who join the 34th Battalion to serve on the Western Front. The film depicts the experiences of the unit, which was recruited in 1916.
Walk past the Bob Hope exhibit and through the connecting link. Turn left and go to the Combat Search and Rescue exhibit in the Southeast Asia War Gallery. Pararescueman William H. Pitsenbarger, who was born in Piqua wanted to quit high school to join the U.S. Army Special Forces’ Green Berets. His parents convinced him to stay in school, and after graduating in 1962, Pitsenbarger joined the Air Force. Arriving in Vietnam in August 1965, Pitsenbarger completed more than 250 missions, including one in which he hung from an HH-43’s cable to rescue a wounded South Vietnamese soldier from a burning minefield. This action earned him the Airman’s Medal and the Republic of Vietnam’s Medal of Military Merit and Gallantry Cross with Bronze Palm. William H. Pitsenbarger was only 21 years old when he was killed in action. But in his short life and heroic Air Force career, Pitsenbarger was an example of dedication, compassion and tenacity for all those with whom he served. In his work, and especially on his final mission, Airman 1st Class Pitsenbarger embodied the pararescueman’s motto: “That Others May Live.” For coordinating the successful rescues, caring for the wounded and sacrificing his life while aggressively defending his comrades, Pitsenbarger earned the Air Force Cross on June 30, 1966. After review, the original award was upgraded, and on December 8, 2000, the Medal of Honor was presented to his family in a ceremony here at the museum. Pitsenbarger is the 59th Medal of Honor recipient, and sixth enlisted recipient, from the Air Force and its predecessor organizations.
