Vietnam Veterans Day

I had a number of about 160 and figured I'd likely get called so I enlisted in June of 71. That way I could choose my MOS and avoid being anywhere near combat. I became a dental technician and with the highest graduating score in the history of the school, I got sent to Fitzsimmons Army Hospital just outside of Denver. I went back to the school for additional training (at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX) and then returned to Denver again where I stayed for the rest of my time in the army, probably because the full bird colonel liked my work.
