The Legion of Valor was federally chartered in 1890 then as the Medal of Honor Legion. It evolved to include recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, and Air Force Cross, as well as the Medal of Honor. Marine Colonel James J. Coolican (ret.) discusses the Legion’s mission and future as its members pass away. He points out the birth of Service Cross recipients in the Global War on Terror. Jim Coolican earned the Navy Cross in 1968 while in action at Hue, Vietnam. Coolican says he was just doing his job for his men. This son of the Pennsylvania coal mines has seen the world and served his country and Marines well. He gives a rare interview to host Jim Fausone.
