Rescue Mission in Vietnam | Navy SEALs - Their Untold Story

Against all odds, Navy SEALs Mike Thornton and Tom Norris saved lives—and earned two Medals of Honor—in Vietnam. Learn how these brave men risked everything to complete their mission, treading water for hours, surviving bullet wounds, and even calling in an American destroyer to bombard their position. After they returned to the U.S., both men were awarded the military’s highest honor, marking the only time in history that one Medal of Honor recipient has saved the life of another.
