I was drafted into the U.S. Army in
December 1966. I eventually ended up in Vietnam assigned first to
Charlie Battery 6/27th Artillery from
May 14, 1967 to July 22, 1967. I was transferred to Alpha Battery on July 23, 1967 at Quan Loi and remained there the remainder of my tour of duty in Vietnam. While with Alpha I was assigned to #2 Gun Section until I started driving a mess hall truck to An Loc in November 1967. I continued as a driver until January 1968 when I returned to #2 Gun Section. I went to Australia on my R & R in January 1968. I left Vietnam on April 26, 1968. I now live in Amherst, Ohio with my wife, happily married for 43 years. I worked at US Steel in Lorain, Ohio for 33 years. I retired in 2001. My hobby is old cars. I have a 1936 Chevy 2 door sedan, and a 1929 Ford truck. |
