“Want Me To Bring’um Back”

A Cobra gunship, suspended mid-rescue.

Captain Larry L. Taylor of Signal Mountain, Tennessee, flew AH-1 Cobra gunships in Vietnam. On June 18, 1968, he flew into enemy fire to pull a four-man reconnaissance team to safety, carrying them out on the outside of his aircraft. In 2023 he received the Medal of Honor.

Want Me To Bring’um Back, his exhibit at the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, opened in 2025. A full-size Cobra hangs overhead with the soldiers clinging to its skids and rocket pods, freezing the moment of the rescue above the cases, media and reader rails that tell Taylor's story.

Encore managed the project, designed the exhibit, created its content and curated it.
