MEDAL: Hero Gets His Homecoming Continued from B1 parents, Alfredo and Andrea, who live in south Oxnard. They were on hand Saturday when Rascon delivered the keynote address for a Veterans Day ceremony attended by 500 people at Oxnard's Plaza Park. On Monday, Rascon was decked out in his Army greens and calfhigh paratrooper boots, the Medal of Honor dangling from a light blue ribbon hugging his neck.
Rascon told of how he enlisted at age 17 and joined one of the first U.S. units to fight in Vietnam. And he recounted the fateful firefight, during which he raced from wounded soldier to wounded soldier, until he himself was wounded so gravely that he was given last rites.

"It gave them a chance to get a perspective from a soldier from our nation who is a bona fide hero," McGuirk said. It is apparent that Rascon is not all that comfortable with the label. At Ramona School, where Rascon attended grade school, 11-yearold Jose Mendoza raised his hand and asked him whether all the medals and badges adorning his uniform came as a result of his heroics. Rascon told a story about the people he saved, about the hellish firefight that left his friends dead and wounded and led to his desperate attempts as an Army medic to save buddies in his platoon.
"I wasn't trying to save them--I was trying to take care of my friends," he told the youngsters. "That's the sad thing about war. Sometimes you end up losing your friends." Ready. Set. Sold.
