On this episode of Our American Stories, Lowell Lytle, who witnessed the Titanic in person, tells his story and the story of The Titanic’s Last Hero. By the time Karl Marlantes left Vietnam, he had received a Bronze Star and a Navy Cross, our nation's second highest award for valor. But he also left with a burning question: why had so many done more than him and received less, and why had so many done less and gotten more?
