“The Last Full Measure” tells the true story of Piqua, Ohio, native William Pitsenbarger, an Air Force medic who saved more than 60 men in one of the harshest battles of the Vietnam War. Offered the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of the combat zone, Pitsenbarger stayed behind to save and defend the lives of his fellow soldiers.
Thirty-four years later after his death on that battlefield, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
