LTC (Join to see) Steve, you enlisted in 1970? I enlisted in 1969 at 17 and you have to be a lot younger than me!

This is a story from Gary Swensen. I am 58 years old. I was just moved by his story that I wanted everyone here on Rally Point to read it. I figured it would be a nice change of pace an oral history put to paper.
