I was reading the Bertha newspaper and was shocked by the stories about the Veterans, our troops coming home with little help from our government VA system. So shocked that I created this blog to do my part to help them.
I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran, served 5 years in the far east, Korea, Okinawa, then fought in Vietnam K Troop of the 11th Cav along HWY 1, Cantho as an SP where we had to protect a base with Bunker more then a city block apart, was so afraid as the enemy troops, ran around our bunker shooting and screaming as they overran our base, the base was fortified after that attack, and then I fought as a weapons man on the 81 mm mortar, with the special forces, in Cantho, the last year was in the U.S.A and Germany with the 36th Infantry Rangers. Ran a dry-cleaning business and laundromat in Bertha MN, the purchased a dry-cleaning plant in wadena and ran it. Ran for US Congress in 1978 and the US Senate in 1980. Also had a radio TV shop, peanut and candy machine company, Got Colon Cancer, Heart and mental problems, Manic Depression, delayed stress, and dementia. Still write, mostly to save what memory's I still have, as they slowly fade away.
