The extraordinary bravery and resourcefulness of Captain John Ripley, USMC.
A Marine who single-handedly destroyed a major bridge in Vietnam, swinging hand-over-hand across its steel girders to plant explosive charges even as an enemy tank fired at him, now appears set to receive the Medal of Honor.
There was a book about it, The Bridge at Dong Ha. I remember when the USNI Press published it back in the day. Wonder if it's still available?
