Larry J. Cottingham CSM (Ret)
I received both the CMB and the CIB. I was a Special Forces Medic that fell for the “Get on that truck” routine. “Combat necessity” put me on the Line with “B” Company 1/327 101 Airborne as a rifleman. Volunteered for Tigers and carried a sniper rifle and an aid kit. Some of the men in the Tigers would tell the other line troops, “Our medic picks out who he is going to work on.” Got me some strange looks from the line troops.
