Vietnam veteran & Medal of Honor recipient Joe Marm

Joe is a veteran of the US Army and served as an officer in Vietnam. He took part in the Battle of Ia Drang (pronounced eye-ya) in November 1965, the first major battle for US forces.

The battle was depicted in the 2002 film We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson. For his actions in at Ia Drang, Marm was awarded the Medal of Honor, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart. His talk will focus on this early phase of the war.
