Where did you serve and what did you do?

Enlisted 4 years in Europe. Tanker. Reenlisted 1 more year to get away from that MOS. Became an 84B20 still photographer and went to Vietnam. After that combat hitched my wife and I lived on base at Ft. Ord where I worked for CEDAC.

How are you Still Serving?

I teach Tai Chi and meditation at the local senior center. I also run their woodshop.

Why do you do it?

Because I have gained knowledge and skill in those and other areas, I felt it is a sin to acquire those things and NOT share them. I joined the Senior Center for Life, and I help out in as many areas as I can. I try to be very connected to veterans at the center.
