“I was drafted and thought I was going into the Army,” said former US Marine Steve M. Goins (above). But, instead, he became a leather neck.
It wasn’t long after graduating from La Follette High School in 1968 when he was shipped off to San Diego for boot camp. Goins said, “They called us Hollywood Marines.”
He laughed saying, “The drill sergeant instantly didn’t like draftees.” He was in boot camp with a couple of other Campbell Countians; Larry Foust from La Follette and Ralph Gross of Jacksboro

I worked as as a Camp Host Workamper in California a few years back. Mostly retired people with their grandkids. I met a Navy Captain who served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He was a Hero!!! He was also a common man who loved his great grand kids and wanted them to see God’s creation up close and personal.
