In pictures: Vietnam at Peace
 

"David Christian was, according to some accounts, the most highly decorated American veteran of the Vietnam War.

"Twice nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor; awarded the combat Infantry Badge for 30 days under enemy fire; the Distinguished Service Cross for apparently using a bayonet to knock out six enemy machine guns; the Air Medal for 25 combat assaults in 'hot' landing zones – plus seven Purple Hearts.

"He can truly be regarded as the Sylvester Stallone of the Vietnam War."
