Sasser received his Medal of Honour for his brave actions during the Vietnam War. As a Combat Medic, Sasser ran into an attack in open fire to assist the wounded. He was shot in the shoulder, and still pulled his fellow soldier back to safety. He then went back into the field to give medical attention to other wounded soldiers. Sasser received another two bullet wounds to both his legs, on his third return into open fire and still pulled another soldier back to safety. The casualties were then aided by Sasser for five hours until backup and medical attention arrived before treating himself. He was awarded the Medal of Honour on March 7, 1969 for his actions on January 10, 1968.
