Jerry's Story
I left Orem September 12th 1960 to join the Army. Six years later I got out. Served in South Korea and spent a year in South Vietnam. For those of you that didn't make it to Nam, you didn't miss any thing.
Married to a girl I met while stationed at Sacramento Army Depot, two kids, one grand child, who is now my son due to the loss of his mother when he was two.
I finished my education in the Army and also got an AA degree from the local Jr. Collage.
I started work with the University of California, Davis Campus May 6, 1966 worked therefor the next fourty years. It was a very interesting job to say the least.
Current intrests, fishing and crabbing in the ocean. I have an 18 foot boat that I just don't get to use as often as I woulld like.
Health : It sucks. Too many trips to the hospital. I am also diagnose...Expand for more
d 70% disabled from PTSD. And Agent Orange. ( Vietnam ). But other than that I feel great. My disability rating has been changed to 100%. I have had to have injections in my lower back due to injuries in country, and my hearing is shot. I'm still able to get out and do most of the things I have enjoyed all these years, just not so often. All things considered, I think I'm doing good.
This last June my bride and I took a honeymoon that we could never afford, and at the same time celiberated our 50th
