Here's my rephrased version of the given section:
At the heart of The Last Full Measure lies the extraordinary tale of William H. Pitsenbarger, a U.S. Air Force Pararescueman who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. On April 11, 1966, Pits, as he was affectionately known, defied convention by choosing to abandon the relative safety of his rescue helicopter to minister to wounded soldiers under intense fire, despite his teammates' reluctance to venture forth. His selfless actions resulted in the salvation of countless lives, and when ordered to depart on the last available helicopter, Pitsenbarger elected to remain behind, forfeiting his own life to protect the soldiers of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division.
Thirty-two years later, Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman (character), a career-driven individual with an impressive track record, finds himself reluctantly tasked with investigating a posthumous Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger by his parents and Tom Tulley, Pitsenbarger's fellow Pararescueman on the fateful mission. As Huffman delves deeper into the story of this war hero, he uncovers a decades-long conspiracy: despite Pitsenbarger's death in 1966, the Air Force had consistently failed to submit the names of enlisted personnel for consideration of the Medal of Honor.
Moved by Pitsenbarger's extraordinary valor and determined to bring attention to his remarkable story, Huffman takes a bold step, potentially stirring up controversy around his own career and the company's former commanding officer, now a U.S. senator seeking reelection. The Senate's subsequent failure to award the medal due to unrelated political infighting prompts Huffman to go public with Pitsenbarger's story.
In the end, the Medal of Honor is bestowed upon Pitsenbarger by presidential decree. Before the award ceremony, Mott finds the courage to deliver Pitsenbarger's final letter to his former love. As Pitsenbarger's parents, who are coping with their son's impending passing due to cancer, attend the ceremony along with the soldiers whose lives were forever changed by his actions, the Air Force Secretary presents the medal to the parents and acknowledges the profound impact of Pitsenbarger's heroism on all those in attendance. The epilogue serves as a poignant reminder that, as of 2019, only three enlisted Airmen have been awarded the Medal of Honor among millions of U.S. military personnel.
