生活状況

My conditions in Korea and Vietnam were somewhat primitive - but other soldiers were much more uncomfortable. At least we had cover from the rain and hot food and showers (cold) to bathe in. Entertainment was a occasional USO group. Otherwise, there were books, magazines and the Stars and Stripes.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

One of my units was located in Saigon - I was present during the random VC rocket attacks on the city - 'scary'! We were busy all night helping victims of the attack - first aid, transporting to hospitals, etc. War is no fun! We must do all we can to avoid war - but if war is the only choice - we must win!

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

Nothing. I enjoyed my many years in service and the lifestyle was one that me and my family were completely happy with.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

Life is not always 'peaches and cream'. Tough times and big problems arise but a close family and good friends can solve almost anything. Home and country must be protected. Have the personal discipline to know what is right and develop the skills necessary to do whatever the task is in the best way you know how. This reflects my development in the military and the way I live my life today. I believe in the philosophy of 'Duty - Honor - Country'. I think my family and friends know this.
