Recuerdo más vívido de la experiencia militar

Flying in an 'otter', a radial engine propeller plane, over hostile territory to execute our support mission. The multiple landings and take-offs were more hazardous than the enemy small-arms fire directed at us.

Lo que más extraño durante su tiempo en las fuerzas armadas

Daily family interactions.

¿En lo personal, qué obtuvo de su experiencia militar?

Trust in the Lord!
Duty, honor, country.

Información adicional

I returned home from 'in-country' without a scratch and the fiasco of Vietnam. However, leaving four young sons back home with my wife to 'fight' in an undeclared war was regretful. Subsequent to my return home, she became a real casualty of this encounter.
