If you're looking for an inspiring story that will remind you of the best qualities an American can display, the Vietnam War drama "The Last Full Measure" is out on digital today. A Blu-ray and DVD release will follow April 21.
Air Force Pararescue Jumper William H. Pitsenbarger sacrificed his life trying to save the lives of the men of the U.S. Army's Charlie Company, 2/16th Infantry, during Operation Abilene on Easter Sunday, April 10, 1966.
Decades later, men who survived that battle led a campaign to recognize Pitsenbarger's bravery, resulting in the presentation of the Medal of Honor to his parents at the National Museum of the United States Air Force on Dec. 8, 2000.
