That was Art Jacobs, retired Army helicopter pilot, talking about the moment his chopper was shot down over Vietnam as his team was attempting to rescue fellow soldiers.

For this Memorial Day episode, we sit down in studio with Jacobs to discuss what he experienced during his lengthy service for the country and what he's doing now to continue to support his brothers in arms.

You said there were broadcasts that were pretty negative and it brought down morale, obviously, at home.

Did that kind of trickle in through the grapevine of, I mean, enlisted men?

How did that affect you guys over in Asia?

So you said you had 20 seconds until the engine failed.

What happened?

Where were you?

And how high were you in the air when that happened?

Can you just explain what happens when your engine fails over the jungle?

How long were you out there before someone came to rescue you?

So this is a very fast-moving situation all around, it sounds like.

How old were you during this period of time?

What was it like coming back?

And I mean, I think of people like Jane Fonda and others that were.

So, I mean, there was a lot of discouragement.

So what was that like coming back and facing that as a second stage?
