I offered my body in 63, they didn't want me. I spent 10 years  at Sandi Labs in NM . If you flew in Vietnam, you used weaponary and missles I helped develope. Then I spent 20 years in undergorund nulcear testing. If you were on a Boomer, you had missiles on board I worked on,  same with the Air Force nukes.

I was in the US ARMY during the Viet Nam War from mid 1960's to 1969. I received an honorable discharge for my time served.

Today my heart is heavy and my head bows in prayer, for a man who was indeed an outstanding  professional soldier (in spite of the news media lies) during his lifetime of service, as well as a person who gave of himself lecturing and appearing on behalf of Veteran's groups. General Westmoreland, who was commander of all US forces during the Viet Nam War,  has passed to the other side and glory at the age of 91. Sir I am proud to salute you once again.....Amen!
