More than four decades after returning from Vietnam, a Door County veteran received an honor that long in the making. Action 2 News was invited to the ceremony.
Still a teenager, Navy corpsman Scott Chobot was front and center during the post-Tet offensive of 1969.
"Got hit on an average of about every two-and-a-half weeks," he recalls.
"Doc," as they call him, wasn't in Vietnam for even three months. He was wounded three times -- the last of which took his legs from him.
