Stay Clear of Hue!

Tet Offensive, Hue South Vietnam
31 January, 1968

"The warning was to stay clear of Hue because the enemy was mounting heavy assaults on the city and inflicting extensive damage and numerous casualties. Warrant Officer Fred Ferguson knew his wounded comrades needed to be evacuated immediately. He ignored the warning and flew his UH-1 into Hue. The decision resulted in the rescue of several critically wounded men - and the Medal of Honor for WO Ferguson." Lieutenant Colonel Wilfred A.
