After training at Fort Riley Kansas for a year, I was sent to Camp Kaiser in Korea, 7th Division, just below the
DMZ, where I was an infantryman, an MP and finally a supply clerk. I left as a Pfc because there were too few
openings for me to be promoted to E-4, I left the Army in June 1962. Interesting enough, some of those about to
leave decided to take an extra year of service in that combat laboratory in Vietnam. Had they left after that year,
they would not have seen combat because the MAC advisers were still working with Vietnamese troops and not
conducting separate operations. I was in an infantry unit, in Korea, north of the 38th parallel and south of the
DMZ, 1961-62. I carried a rifle, and I got a Good Conduct Medal.

I value my military service highly, both for what I was able to contribute and for its contribution to me, which was
significant. I am struck by a major difference between the military of my era - Vietnam - and today. During the
60s and 70s, there was wide spread participation in the military effort from across our society, albeit sometimes
with reservations. Today a fraction of 1% of society is involved in military service while most of the rest of us go
about our lives largely oblivious to the military's contribution. In hindsight that contribution is demonstrably more
important today than it was during Vietnam. Our apathy is unfortunate, and I do not profess to know how to
change it. The very least we can do is respect proactively the men and women who serve in our military and
never take them for granted.

13 years in the Navy including medical training. While I was a George Washington University, I was in the
reserves as an ensign (4 years). For my internship and residency in General Surgery I was stationed at the
Naval Hospital San Diego (5 years active duty). And then I spent four more years on active duty to pay back for
my Medical School years. These four years were spent in San Diego, though I was often deployed on ships.
One year as a general medical officer on a marine amphibious battle group helicopter carrier. One year as a
General Surgeon on a Carrier (Kitty Hawk). Six months deployed as general surgeon on a surgical trauma
team. The other time was spent on the general surgery teaching staff at the Naval Hospital San Diego. I was
not involved in any military conflicts between 1976 and 1989. I resigned my commission in 1989 as a LtCDR on
leaving the service. I often ran into Landon graduates: Mike Van Ness, Peter and Brian Murphy, Dan Simpson,
Bill Roberts (who is now a Navy Admiral), Cam McKee, Larry Roberts, all come to mind now, there may have

I enlisted in the Navy at age 17 in February, 1945. The war ended a few months later and I was in for about a
year after that. I was discharged in August, 1946 as a Yeoman 3 rd Class. I joined the Air Force ROTC at Trinity
and graduated as a Second Lieutenant in June, 1951. I went on active duty that August and was in Korea by
spring of ’52. I was there a year, returning to the US in April or May of ’53. I stayed in the reserve and retired
from the Air Force at Andrews AFB in February, 1984 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
