I was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division with Company A, 1st Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade. Our Brigade base camp was at a place called LZ (Landing Zone) Sally, located South West of the Imperial capital of Hue. I was first assigned as a squad leader and soon after to platoon sergeant.
I returned from Vietnam in 1969, and returned to college. I joined the South National Guard where I received a direct commission as a Second Lieutenant in the field artillery. In October 1976 I was hired as a full-time technician with the Guard.
In 1983, I remained in the Guard but was converted to Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) program. I retired from the Army National Guard in April 1999 as a Lieutenant Colonel. In January 2000, I began a ten year career as a Federal Investigator, retiring in December 2009.
I have been married to my wife Helen for over 46 years and currently reside in Sioux Falls, SD.
