Pilot honored for conduct at My Lai massacre, Vietnam, 1968 Check out the rest of this story at link below--I did not know of this man's act of courage. An excerpt is below: msnbc.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The My Lai massacre, which left some 500 Vietnamese civilians dead and led to the court-martial of Lt. William Calley, stands as one of the darkest moments in American military history. There is a sliver of light: Helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson's little-known story. It's the story of a man who obeyed his convictions, who defied superiors, who placed his body between villagers and his fellow soldiers, who ordered his gunner to fire on American troops if necessary. It's also a story of long-withheld recognition of this bitter brand of heroism, which some blame on a nation's shame.
