@marines Maj. Gen. Livingston became a trusted commander during his more than three decades in service. He learned leadership skills early in his career that came in handy in the #VietnamWar when his unit was outnumbered 10-to-1 during the Battle of Dai Do. His quick thinking helped defeat a much larger force, liberate a Vietnamese village and save stranded Marines. For his selfless actions and bravery, he received the #MedalofHonor. #trueamericanhero #departmentofdefense For more on the Department of Defense, visit: defense.gov
