Welcome to Wednesday's Hero. Today's hero is Richard Pittman, Lance Corporal, US Marine Corps. Name of the story is moving from rear to front. Richard Pittman was fifteen years old when he heard John F. Kennedy's ask not what your country can do for you speech and decided he would do something for his country when he got out of school. After graduation and high school in nineteen sixty three, he tried to enlist in the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, but was turned down by each because he
was legally blind in one eye. However, he managed to get accepted by the Marine Reserves. Then, at one meeting during his Marine recruiting training, an officer asked him, anyone present want to go active duty right now? Pittman immediately raised his hand. In the spring of nineteen sixty six, Lance Corporal Pittman went to Vietnam as part of the
fifth Marines. By Midsummer, his unit was involved in a search and destory operations in northern part of South Vietnam, near the DMZ, which separated the south from the north. On July twenty fourth, Pittman was at the rear of his company's column near the DMZ when heavy gunfire erupted. His company had been ambushed by elements of the North Vietnamese Army in one of its first major incursions into
South Vietnam. As Pittman and a Navy corman started forward, he almost colliding with the marine standing in the trail holding an M sixty machine gun. Pittman said, you going to use that weapon? The marine stared back blankly. Pittman grabbed the gun, several belts of ammunition, and moved towards the heaviest of the fighting. He was surprised by a number of dead and wounded Marines littering both sides of the trail.
When his helmet was shot off, he hit the dirt.
He saw the corpsman get up and tried to get to the wounded man, but he was hit and went down also. As Pittman continued on, he quickly destroyed two positions that shot at him, then standing up, cradling the machine gun in the crook of his arm and firing as he went. Pittman moved to the head of the column, where the North Vietnamese regulars were rushing his beleaguered comrades.
As he reached the position.
Where the leading marine had fallen. He was suddenly attacked by thirty to forty of the enemy. He calmly established a position in the middle of the trail, and with bullets whizzing past his head, he raked the advancing.
Enemy with still the stading machine gun fire.
He continued firing until he felt a concussion on his side. At first he thought he had been wounded, but his gun had been struck by an enemy fire and disabled. He dropped it, picked up an AK forty seven from one of the enemy soldier and he started wailing away, and he continued to fire until he ran out of ammunition. Next, he picked up a forty five pistol left by a fallen marine, and he used it to kill two more of the enemy soldiers as.
They were almost on top of him.
Finally out of ammunition altogether, he threw his only grenade. The remaining North Vietnamese retreated. Back at his own lines, he discovered that two thirds of his company had been killed or wounded in the intense engagement. Richard Pittman was discharged from the Marines in nineteen sixty eight, who went back home to Stockton, California, looking for work. When he learned that he was going to receive the Medal of Honor, It was presented to him by President Lyndon Johnson at
the White House ceremony May fourteenth, nineteen sixty eight. Pittman re enlisted the Marines in nineteen seventy and retired for good in nineteen eighty eight, having served for a total of twenty one years.
Today's Hero is Richard.
Pittman born May twenty sixth, nineteen forty five, in French Camp, California. He died October thirteenth, twenty sixteen, in Stockton, California. Name of the story is moving from rear to front gets me every time.
Well done, TONI and Wednesday's Hero.
That first part where he looks at the marine and says, hey, you go, you're gonna use that. The Marines like you can have it. He takes it and goes up the path. And then you think of these movies you see where there's marines littered on the path as he's moving forward, right, and he goes and they're all laying there and as he's fighting, he just and that's the that's one of
the reoccurring motifs of all these stories. Is that you know, once they're finished with whatever they have in AMMO, they just keep picking up the weapons of people that are dead. Whether it's the enemy's rifle or your rifle, you pick up and keep moving. It's just an amazing story. And the fact that he's like, eh, we went back to Stockton, California,
needed a job.

It worked, of course it did one well. Tattoos could be leaked linked or leaked linked to cancer. A new study out Denmark looked in the possibilities of the links between tattoos and cancer.
The study right, okay, this is interesting to me. Why why are they saying that because the ink?
I guess, yeah, but specifically one type of ink which I found alarming. Actually two types. Specifically, it's linked to skin cancer and lymphoma and people with large.
And dye number five or whatever.
Are you serious that's one of them.
The second Oh my gosh, I was making a joke.
The second one was more alarming, and we'll get to it.
Uh.
Skin cancer and lymphomas was linked to and people with large tattoos by large researchers referring to body art that's bigger than the size of your hand. That's not very large. I was thinking about back place. I mean that could be, you know, like.
Like I'm getting addicted to that too, like I have. You don't have any tattoo.

You're saying, you gotta do this, don't zoom in.
See how she opens her mouth. When I do that, I'm might have to get that tattooed red. Can we focus, Let's refocus, let's regroup. Here we go.
Uh.
Any large tattoo is it could be linked to skin cancer lymphoma. The definition of large is something bigger than the palm of your hands. They call it the dose effect, where more ink is injected, the greater chance of triggering inflammatory responses. The researchers specifically sided, like you said, the red ink. But here's the alarming there's two types of inks that were the main offenders, red ink and black ink. Every tattoo has black in it.
I guess right. No, no, I don't know anything about tattoos. I don't have any tattoos. You see people walking out? Yeah, right, you're right, yeah, yeah, I look. I always thought I told you. Tony Danza, Yeah, Tony Danza. I saw a video with Tony Dancer when I was a teenager, and
I said, he put it in my head. He is on trucking, He's got to keep on trucking with the guy in the zoot suit and the leg is really long, and the big feet, the big feet, and the under the keep on trucking is his leg goes the length of keep on trucking.

I go and the guy was like, no, he goes
for three weeks in the summer of seventy five. He goes, and I have this stupid zoot suit thing on my arm forever.
Remember he had the big long beard. Yeah, keep on, keep.
On trucking guy, so I said, And for some reason a teenager, I was like, he's right, there's nothing. There's nothing that I would want to permanently put on my It's like buying a shirt and go wear that shirt for the rest of your life.
No, I've got a shirt or too where the rest of my life.
Terry Miners has got like a Paisley shirt you won't let go from the nineties. He still wears it.
Well, what's the magic number when it comes to retirement? The magic number that Americans feel they need to retire money or year money?
Oh?
Who knows the amount of money Americans feel they need to retire comfortably in twenty twenty five has dropped by two hundred thousand dollars. Don't know why they're saying it's one million point one point twenty six million is what Americans feel they need to retire comfortably. That doesn't I mean, it seems like a.
Here's here's what you need to know. Yeah, because I'm an expert on retirement, Yes you are.
You're the one that Susan and I will look to for wisdom whenever we want financed.
You are welcome, Yeah, advice, You're welcome free of charge.
And you sure you're positive that we need to buy right now? Blockbuster video stock. Because it's low. You said say that on the radio. Oh god, I've not every ga now everybody. She I'm so sorry, dude, hang on, I give you ruined it for everybody because by now, Oh my gosh, I just ruined our for one K.
Because I'm an expert. Go ahead, because I'm an expert.
So stupid.
Uh, you have to figure out like you and Susan probably spend eight to ten thousand dollars a month.
Oh no, we probably spend three hundred and eighty two dollars a month.
But if you are, for example, if you are spending six to eight to ten thousand dollars a month here, then that's what you hang on. That's what you're going to need when you retire. Do you think you're going to need less? You're going to spend six dos If you spend six thousand dollars a month, which is a low number. I know you're thinking that's a water number. No it's not. No, it's not. Look at what you're spending a month. I already found a flaw in your plan. Oh really, yeah, what is it?
I have social Security to fall back on, and that's gonna give me probably twenty grand a month.
And don't get me started on all security. Oh I don't don't because I saw another story on it CBS Sunday morning and he says, and they go, well, here's what's gonna happen if it starts to fail because all of the boomers are dying and there's not enough gen X to cover. That's an actual audio from the TV show.
You pulled that so quick.
Thank you. He goes, well, we're gonna have to raise taxes or raise the age. I went, no, no, no, no, I said, you bailed out. I said you bailed out saving into Launch, not once but twice. You're bailed out the auto industry, not once but twice. You bailed out the airline industry, not once but twice.
So when it.
Comes down and bailing us out as old people, you're gonna write a check. And I don't care if you have to go to Philadelphia and print out a trillion dollars your ass is gonna shore up my ass in retirement.
Right on, Tony, thank you.
Now just do that again at the State Capitol, like on the floor in front of everybody.
Don't have to die my prayer purple and have a nosery.
Anyway, Northwestern Mutual says that most Americans say that they could retire comfortably on one point two six million. So of course, unless you live in Jefferson County, that's what it's gonna cost you annually by time they get done just playing the property taxes for JCPS.
I told you when my son did his semester abroad in Madrid, he was like, there are a ton of retirees here from America, because he said, look, you get a sandwich, you get a drink, and usually in Europe there's some sort of alcohol.
