HE had a lot of jobs in Nam, here are the one's he worked at the most. combat engineer, demo specialist, construction work, fuel tanker escort, mine sweeper for highway 1 , engineer tank commander (c e v ) that means combat engineer vehical,that covers most of it.
Richard had no problem with the war before he went to Vietnam , he thought he may not have to go, but he screwed up and did not register for collage in time, instead he got drafted for the Marines.Got lucky , got out of that by enlisting in the Army, being a Marinee in 67 was like a 1 way ticket, life was short for them. So he knew it was his job to serve the country sohe went without kicking and screaming. he came home 3 different times, the first was the worst, all the protests, rejection by almost everyone, and being called a baby killer, and spit on, that crap did not sit well with him so he went back in country to be with people that mattered to him, people he could count on and they could count on him. The 2nd time was much like the first, so back he went in country. The 3rd time he did not know much about because it was a dust-off trip, came to in the hospital without much expectation of ever leaving, fooled them........ ha ha ha !!!!!!! Richard got the last laugh on them.
