Our guest this week grew up in Cheshire, Connecticut and joined the Marines. On December 18, 1965, on his first day of combat in Vietnam, he took command when his company commander was killed and fought his 120 Marines out of an ambush by Vietcong troops who outnumbered them 10-1.

For his gallantry and valor that day, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

His name - Colonel Harvey C. "Barney" Barnum, Jr. and we're honored to have him as our guest this upcoming Sunday, December 8, 2013 on WJR AM-760 from 9:05 PM - 10:00 PM (EST). The program will also be available on the web at WJR.com.
