Which is why he spent 18 months in a casualty ward. He was a platoon leader at the time after graduating from OCS. He dealt with a lot of issues.

He loved working with vets and motivated me to get out and do the same. I know he also held a special place in his heart for guys like you and me because we were fellow infantry guys. Or as he called us "graduates of Bennings' School for Boys"
