Description

Gary Cooper shares many of his experiences from the Vietnam War where, as an Australian air controller, he was posted to the U.S. Army's 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam in 1968, and was soon a legend to his peers. This biography details why Cooper was called a war hero by those he served with as well as how he was nominated for some of the highest U.S. military awards possible but never received them, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Army Commendation Medal.
