Patrick Henry Brady (born October 1 1936) is a retired United States Army major general. While serving as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War he received the Medal of Honor. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty Maj. BRADY distinguished himself while serving in the Republic of Vietnam commanding a UH-1H ambulance helicopter volunteered to rescue wounded men from a site in enemy held territory which was reported to be heavily defended and to be blanketed by fog. To reach the site he descended through heavy fog and smoke and hovered slowly along a valley trail turning his ship sideward to blow away the fog with the backwash from his rotor blades. Despite the unchallenged close-range enemy fire he found the dangerously small site where he successfully landed and evacuated 2 badly wounded South Vietnamese soldiers.
