Seventy years ago today PFC Dan Bullock USMC was born. He became the youngest American KIA in the Vietnam War. PFC Bullock enlisted at the age of fourteen years old and was killed at the young age of fifteen making him the youngest casualty of the war. I salute you for your service PFC Bullock. We have a class at the high school of African American Studies. When we go back next year (LOL!) I'm going to go see the teacher teaching this course and suggest he take a look at this young Marine who was so dedicated to serve our country the enlisted in the Marines. It's a long video (30 minutes) but I enjoyed watching it.

SPC Robert Coventry Yes, an American hero. To bad we can't hardly get young (not this young though) recruits with his spunk and desire to serve today.
