Army, 20+ Years
I Served in the Navy for 11 years. I served in South Vietnam (Mekong Delta)(MyTho and CanTho), in 1967, as a Navy SEAL Tactical Assault Boat (STAB) Captain. I received The Bronze Star Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device "V" and 11 other combat medals. I served 12 years in the Army and retired as a Master Sergeant (E-8). During my combined military service career, including my service in Vietnam, I received 28 medals. I served for two years as an advisor to President Ronald Reagans Rapid Deployment Force (Alpha). A lot of time was spent with high ranking general officers in current war situation rooms at Presideo San Franscisco. Very proud to have served my country. Our family has had a family member serve in the military, in every war, since the 1862 Indian Wars. We come from a good fighting stock, Norwegian Vikings. Half of my family members are Purple Heart recepiants.
