About this listen

Father Vincent Robert Capodanno was a US Navy chaplain killed in Vietnam in 1967 with his Marine search unit in Operation Swift. Outnumbered 2,500 to 500 Marines, he was killed protecting a corpsman who was administering first aid to a soldier.

Father Capodanno received the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts. Even though wounded, he refused to leave the battle area to assist his grunts. He was the most recognized and respected chaplain in that war; memorials and buildings throughout the world are named after him. This is a hero.
