Enemy forces had captured
the north side of the bridge
1:54:45
when Lieutenant Roscoe
charged forward firing his rifle.
1:54:48
Lieutenant Roscoe's actions
so unnerved the enemy, they withdrew,
1:54:52
allowing the lieutenant
to secure the enemy position
1:54:55
until the rest of his company could move
forward and consolidate their forces.
1:54:59
Lieutenant Roscoe maintained
the position against repeated attacks
1:55:03
and, though wounded,
continued to inspire his men
1:55:06
until reinforcements arrived
the following day.
1:55:08
Lieutenant Roscoe has upheld the highest
traditions of the Marine Corps
1:55:12
and of the United States naval service.
1:55:15
The Marine Corps builds body,
mind and spirit. Thank you.
1:55:25
And now, with a different perspective,
we have Luke Martin,
1:55:29
combat veteran of the Marine Corps.

- Sergeant, mind if I ask you a question?
- No, sir.
1:55:55
Just call me Sergeant - that's what I was.
1:55:59
- Where were you stationed?
- Da Nang.
