SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. — Members of Army medic James McCloughan's unit in Vietnam called him "Doc."
Now, those soldiers, several of whom McCloughan saved during the ferocious, dayslong Battle of Nui Yon Hill in 1969, will have a new name for him: Medal of Honor recipient.
Army spokeswoman Valerie L. Mongello said Tuesday that the 71-year-old from South Haven, Michigan, will become the first person to be awarded the nation's highest military honor by President Donald Trump.
