Service Description
Served in country August 1968 - 1969
Entered as PFC Exited as E-5. Was in squad with Jim Shaw, Joe (Monk) Mendoza, Doug Van Duine (VD), Horner ( sqd ldr), and Bob Koleman. Was wounded on patrol near Nui Loc Son, I was about the 8th guy from point. I was knocked off the rice patty dike wounded in the head and scrotum.
