Military Experiences
Feb 1960 - Mar 1980
Pvt-Major
I began my career as a private and because of the Vietnam War, I was given the opportunity to become an officer. The Vietnam War consumed my career; I was either training for war or in war.
The best example I can give for what my career represented is I have THREE "personal" Presidential Unit Citations; Special Forces, MACV-SOG CCN and the 173rd Airborne Brigade. I served with all three during their finest hours in combat.
Translated for those who still don't understand: I volunteered to go TO the fight.
