He grew up there and graduated from high school in 1982. His dad worked for Consumers Power for over thirty two years and his mother worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His family has a rich history of military service, his earliest relative, Daniel Wilson served in the Revolutionary War, he has found some Civil War veterans also one of which named Aaron Essex, is buried at the Veterans Cemetery on Monroe. He was in the New York Infantry. His grandfather was in World War I. (2:33) Steve’s dad and two of his dad’s brothers served in World War II. His dad graduated from high school in Ionia in 1944. After his father finished his basic training, he was put on a train that headed west to San Francisco. However, the train was late which caused him to miss his ship. Later he found out that the ship he missed was sunk in the battle of Leyte Gulf. (4:50) He served in the Seabees, and went to New Guinea and Guam. If the atomic bomb had not been dropped, his father most likely would have been sent to Japan, and could have been killed. (6:25) Joining the Military (6:33)       After working at a fast food restaurant, Burger Chef, he decided he would check out the military, part-time. He found out about a chef job, and then switched to a communications job. He had joined the Army National Guard. He went to Fort Jackson, South Carolina for his basic training. (8:08) Motivation for completing his training was his dad’s poor health. Not wanting to redo his training, he stayed with it. The National Guard did not have a good reputation since Vietnam. Training (10:55)    National Guardsman go through the same basic training as the regular Army, which is 8 weeks. Arriving at Fort Jackson, he is received in civilian clothes, and is then issued his military uniforms and a haircut. Steve struggled with the training because he knew that he was just going to be part-time and did not understand why he had to go through the regular training. He found out years later that it was in case he was activated. (12:29) �     Most of the men were not in good shape when they arrived. Steve could do two push-ups in two minutes when he arrived, once he completed training he could do fifty in two minutes. Along with physical conditioning, his training also consisted of rifle training with the M16, he had trouble sighting it in and aiming. While he struggled, he passed his rifle qualification. (14:16) During his bivouac week, he and his buddy were on a live fire range, he ran out of ammo before he could finish the exercise. He liked the control environment of the range. (16:28) He also had to do several different aptitude tests, including the ASVAB. Advanced Training (17:31)     Upon completion of his basic training, Steve was sent to Fort Gordon, Georgia for the Signal Corps to train for combat telecommunications. Land line teletype systems were used, and his training had lots of typing, generator use and field exercises. Everything was computerized. He credits the technology to the Commander-in-Chief, Ronald Reagan, for putting an emphasis on military technology. (19:47) This course lasted twelve weeks. After his advanced training, he was sent to his home unit. Home Unit (21:31)        Steve was attached to the 107th Supply and Service Battalion, in Ionia, Michigan. He was there from 1983 till late 1987. His job was to set up land line teletypes on field exercises and field telephones. The commitment to serve was one weekend a month, and two weeks during the summer when they went to Camp Grayling. (23:45) His service was done within Michigan, except when he went to schools such as at Camp Ashland, Nebraska which was an NCO (non-commissioned officer) training school. This school lasted about two weeks. When he went to the school he was an E-4, Specialist, and the school qualified him to pick up the next rank, sergeant. Promotions are slower in the National Guard compared to the regular Army. (25:40) Unit Transfer (26:21)      156th Signal Battalion, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan became Steve’s new unit from 1987 till 1993. He was working full-time at the prison, and he worked part-time for the Guard. He didn’t need any further training when he switched to the new unit. During Desert Storm, his unit was training to go to the Middle East. His unit was never activated. (29:05) His unit would work with other units to set up radio communications, like an engineer unit from the Upper Peninsula. �    He never liked the Governor’s Parade, and today doesn’t have much respect for politicians because he had to stand in formation and listen to the Governor speak, which often took a long time. (32:30) During Katrina, George W. Bush was blamed for not sending the Guard in to help, but the Pentagon can call up any unit at any time. His unit also trained for riots. Such as that in Detroit in 1993. He was almost extended because of the near-riot after a man was beat with flashlights by police. Nothing happened and he got out. (35:20) After ten years in the Army National Guard, he got out. Air National Guard (37:44)         His first deployment with the Air National Guard was to Alpena. Steve wanted to travel, and go overseas. So he became a mechanic with the A-10s. But later switched to the Civil Engineers, and was a plumber. (39:05) He was in the Air Guard beginning in March 1997. While in, he trained with personnel from NATO countries and other allies such as Canada, England, Latvia, Saudi Arabia, France and Israel. (41:02) At this time, he is still working full-time in corrections. His unit earned an outstanding award after training in Alpena, Michigan. RRR, Rapid Runway Repair, a task done during combat operations to quickly get runways repaired after being bombed by the enemy. He had to train for this in full chemical gear. One man passed out and Steve yelled to a major to call an ambulance, which he did. (43:29) Saudi Arabia (45:02)        Steve’s first big deployment was to Saudi Arabia in 2000. He had just been married, and his wife was seven months pregnant. They flew from Battle Creek to Detroit then to Baltimore, Ireland, Egypt, Kuwait and finally to Saudi Arabia. (48:29) The windows had to be shut and the lights off when flying into Saudi. They had a two plane escort, and when they landed, they had all Christian articles such as Bibles, crosses, stars of David, and all pornography taken, even Sports Illustrated or pictures of women playing sports. For this deployment he was given the anthrax shots, and he avoided his fourth shot. (51:07) At 1am in Kuwait it was 110 degrees, and when they got to Saudi Arabia at 8am it was 120 degrees in the shade. They were advised to just drink water. Having to remain hydrated, he had to urinate a lot and had to take his time doing things. Saudi Arabia is a kingdom not a nation, and it made him appreciate our freedom as Americans more than before. (53:10) Steve was based outside of Riyadh, and he was there about three weeks. He was ordered to stay on the base. Only a few people every month were allowed to leave base, and they had to be active duty. The soldiers had to wear covers over there body, both men and women, and the women would be hassled for walking in front of men. They were also encouraged to stay away �   from public executions that took place on Friday’s. These were done for crimes such as adultery. (55:52) The beginning of August he was able to come home. The plane reversed course on the return trip. The pilot said “Welcome to the United States” and everyone onboard cheered and clapped. (57:00) While in the airport in Baltimore, six men were missing when it was time to leave, they ended up leaving two men behind, and they arrived the next day. (59:26) At a retirement ceremony for one of the men left behind, Steve wanted to know where he was when they were left behind, and gave him a map of the Baltimore area for his gift. (1:02:04) Stateside, 9/11 (1:02:17)           June 2001, Steve was in the Black Hills of South Dakota, conducting civil engineering training. They traveled all around the area seeing local attractions such as Mount Rushmore, Deadwood, Little Big Horn, Custer State Park, Bad Lands and the Devil’s Tower. September 11, 2001 Steve had just bought a house in Walker (1:04:10) Steve had always wanted to see the World Trade Centers, and to watch them come down really bothered him. He remembers watching Peter Jennings lose it on TV, it was the first time he saw him do that. Watching the towers fall, Steve’s wife was scared that he was going to be activated. (1:06:43) He was given a tour of the Pentagon once, he wondered why they would attack such a solid structure, and thought the Capital building would have been a more demoralizing target, or the White House. (1:08:51) The main target for the US was the training camps in Afghanistan. Security was tightened on his base, requiring ID checks for everyone, even those in uniform. (1:10:13) He didn’t know what was going to happen to his unit, so he packed his bags just in case. As a civil engineer, his unit traveled to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, to fix up the area and make improvements. (1:12:23) After his time down south, in 2002, they found out they were leaving around Thanksgiving or Christmas back to Saudi Arabia. Back to Saudi Arabia (1:15:50)      The day after Thanksgiving they left for Battle Creek to go overseas. They went from Battle Creek to Detroit, Baltimore, Cyprus, Kuwait and then to Saudi Arabia. Flying into Saudi, they still had their windows down and lights off, they were flown in with four escort planes. (1:16:55) His role was the same as his previous deployment. They were there for a little over a month, he left just before Christmas. The weather was so much different, because it was winter. The hottest it got was around 65 degrees. (1:18:45) He was kept in the dark about the situation in Iraq and elsewhere. �  Again, he was not allowed off the base, except to fix a water leak near a small town outside of the base. The locals looked at them with hatred just because they were American service members. (1:20:27) His unit was not called to go into Iraq. England (1:22:03)    Steve and his unit were sent to Royal Air Force Base Mildenhall, located just north of London. England was very nice, but expensive. In London protesters were angry about the American presence in Iraq. What he liked best about being in England, every day they played God Save the Queen and then the Star-Bangled Banner. He liked saluting during that time out of respect for our NATO allies. (1:23:58) Israel (1:24:02)         The following year, his unit was sent to Israel in February and March. It was the same type of deployment as before, construction and repair, and they created buildings for United States Marines that were coming there. They went on a tour of the area, rented their own bus and traveled around to see all the sights. Steve was advised not to wear an American Flag or American sports team or university shirts. (1:26:25) At the Wailing Wall, a woman who was deployed with them wanted to go to the men’s side, but was talked out of it by the fact that UN guards were nearby ready to enforce local rules and regulations. (1:29:24) Haggling with a local vendor, Steve bought a paper weight of the city, he was advised by the tour guide never to take the first price that is given. He bought several rosaries for his family and had them blessed by a French priest at the tomb of Jesus. (1:34:00) One of the men with him had his wallet stolen. Back on the 2nd Saudi Tour (1:35:53)     TCN – Third Country Nationals, workers on the base from other countries, mostly from Pakistan. Steve watched some workers that were supposed to be delivering water working on something that he found suspicious, so he reported the activity. Two days later he was given a coin by the Command Chief Master Sergeant for the information that he gave. (1:37:09) The men were doing something in the dirt, near the fuel storage area. Last Deployment and Retirement (1:39:05) �      In Alpena, Michigan, Steve was asked to create a security outline for perimeter defenses. He inquired with other Guard units and a Marine unit to check with their manuals. Some of his ideas were placed in the Air Force manuals later on. He was given an Air Force Commendation Medal for the act. Around this time, he had 22 years in and thought it was time to retire. Steve was an E-6. National Guard and Reservists need to acquire 60 points a year for retirement. He wanted to go a little beyond just to be sure that he was eligible for retirement. (1:42:55) Steve has his pension from the government and will also draw a small check for around $50 a month from the State of Michigan for 20 years of service in the National Guard. (1:45:43) His time in the service affected his whole life. He was his son’s Cub Scout leader, and they wanted him because of his leadership skills and his attention to detail. Now, he is a leader in the Boy Scouts for his son. He carries great pride and faithfulness for his country and the American Flag. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The first of two sons to Elmer and Eileen Handley on December 30, 1947. His father was in the skilled trade at Clark Equipment Company as a welder. He later worked in the testing department on earth moving machines. His mother went to work at Electro-Voice, which was a speaker manufacturer in Buchanan, Michigan. When Terry and his brother were out of school, his mother went back to school and became a registered nurse. He grew up north of Buchanan, and that is where he went to high school. (02:16) Terry played football growing up, and he graduated from high school in 1966. After high school, he attended LMC (Lake Michigan College) for business administration. He obtained his associates degree. In 1968, Terry enlisted for two years because he knew he was going to be drafted. He wanted to be thought of as regular army instead of being a draftee. Military Service (04:03)          Terry planned on doing what he needed to succeed and ended up being a squad leader and then a platoon guide. When he was eighteen, he went to Detroit to register for the draft and they stayed at the Pontchartrain Hotel. While there, he went down to a bar to get some drinks and he later learned that the bar was predominantly black and the neighborhood was not safe for him. Having grown up with other minorities, he was not prejudiced and did not look at people‟s skin color. He never used the „N‟ word growing up and neither did his family. (06:19) At Detroit, he had his physical and he could see many people that were trying to fail so they wouldn‟t be drafted. Terry went to Detroit in 1966, and was given a college deferment for two years while he was going to school. At the time, he did not pay much attention to world events and was just trying to focus on his career in retail. (08:29) He was not anti-Vietnam. Terry had a friend that was a Green Beret and made it home unscathed. Another friend from high school went to Vietnam and was killed within three months of being there. Still, he did not have any animosity with the war. Terry felt that he was being sent to Vietnam to protect his homeland. (10:19) � After the war, Terry learned that over 1.5 million people were slaughtered after the United States pulled out of Vietnam. Basic Training (11:55)            He reported to Chicago and was sent to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. His training lasted 12-13 weeks. When he first arrived, they tried to tear each man down mentally and physically. Terry refused to let them do that to him. Terry was asked if he wanted to be a driver and he volunteered for it. He got his military drivers license and as a result of being a driver only pulled KP duty once while in basic training, and later did not have to do guard duty. His duties included waking up early to transport the company to various ranges and other forms of training. (14:53) In basic training, it was all about conditioning. With some elementary aspects of military maneuvering and combat training. (17:21) Towards the end of basic, they were given their first pass, which allowed them to move around the base. He met a man that was 25 or 26 named Richard Hamilton. He was a very smart man, who brought life back to reality. Terry was good friends with him. Terry would lock his brain out to things that were going on around him in order to keep fit mentally. He still refused to let them get in his head even though they tried. (19:28) Their goal was to break you down to build you back up. It culminated during AIT (Advanced Infantry Training). After NCO school, four or five of the people with him were asked to consider OCS (Officer Candidates School). This was appealing because it was another few months that he wouldn‟t be in Vietnam. (21:00) The advanced training in map reading and combat was something that he wanted. He thought about doing it but he found out that he would‟ve had to extend his enlistment for two or three years. AIT (22:10)      Terry was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington for AIT. The environment was very different than basic. One major difference was the granting of passes that allowed them to go to Seattle and other cities nearby. They training primarily with the M-14 and a little with the M-16. Terry also learned more about the safe handling of the weapons and how to break them down and clean them. (24:44) Fort Lewis was a good experience for Terry, and while he was there he met Leon Hendrix who was the brother of Jimi Hendrix. He would be picked up by a limo when he had a pass and taken off by his brother. The instructors were mostly Vietnam veterans, and they treated you well if you treated them well. They wanted the men to learn because they knew where they were going. (26:45) �  Almost all of AIT was geared towards Vietnam. They learned about guerilla tactics, mines and booby traps and things that they would encounter in country. The Vietnam veterans would talk with them and tell them about what to expect. NCO School (28:24)           When he volunteered to go to NCO school, he did not have to extend his two year enlistment. He wanted to go because he was interested in gaining the additional experience and training with compass and map reading, marksmanship, land navigation, medical training and radio procedures. One man that he trained with ended up going on to OCS, but most chose not to go because they did not want to extend. The emphasis on physical training increased at NCO School. (30:46) This school was conducted in southern Georgia at Fort Benning during the summer. While there, he met chiggers. Which are almost invisible little insects that bite and are not fun. There was also an increase in forced marches. Their goal was to build up the men mentally because they were soon going to be leading others. (32:18) At Ranger training, they went down for a week in the swamp and had to survive off the land. The instructors also pulled ambushes and things to keep them on their toes while they were out. It was here that they gained experience and learned what to expect when they got to Vietnam. Sometimes he would have people that refused to walk point, so he would do it. After a little while someone would tap him on the shoulder and tell him he better move back in the line. (34:17) Terry graduated from NCO School in November 1969. After NCO school he was sent to Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina. It was there that Terry became an instructor. Fort Jackson (35:05)       At Fort Jackson he was training AIT recruits and was given a company. The four of the men that he was with decided that they were going to discipline their students differently than they had been treated. After meeting together, they decided to give their recruits post privileges for the rest of that day, which was a Saturday. Monday morning they had an inspection and they demanded that they be number one. With that mindset, they only went one week not being rated first for their inspections. (36:15) Terry‟s superiors were curious about their new training techniques, but they allowed him to continue. The results showed them that it was working. (38:30) Terry met John Fraser at NCO school. He was from Maine, and he was a backwoods country boy. He had amazing grip strength. The group that Terry bonded with was John Fraser, Richard Hamilton, and Chuck Kearse. It was the four of them that trained the recruits at Fort Jackson. (40:02) After they finished training, they were given a few weeks leave. They reported back to O‟Hare Airport in Chicago to ship out to Vietnam. � On the drive to the airport, Terry heard a voice that he believes was God that said “Don‟t worry son, I will take care of you.” He trusted that when he went overseas. Vietnam (42:30)                    From Chicago, he met up with John at Fort Lewis and they flew together to Anchorage, Alaska. Then they went to Hawaii before they made it to Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam. Once they arrived, they both were issued orders to the 101st Airborne Division. They arrived in Vietnam during the day and he remembers the smell, the humidity and the heat. Helicopters could always be heard, and that lasted until he got home. It was a constant drone day and night. They spent a day or two at Cam Ranh Bay before being trucked up north to Phu Bai. Camp Evans was the headquarters for the 101st. (44:21) A few trucks went together along Highway 1, and they had no incidents on the trip up. He didn‟t know what to expect when he was there. But thought initially it would be like an Audie Murphy movie, which it wasn‟t. He and John were both assigned to the same battalion and company but different platoons. Terry went to Delta Company, 1/506th. They were nicknamed the „Delta Death Dealers‟. (46:26) When he arrived at Camp Evans, he was issued his weapon, clothing and other equipment. They didn‟t wear any markings of rank, except for officers who would on occasion, but mostly just the higher ranking men. At the beginning, they carried a rucksack with lots of food, and a little bit of ammunition. Towards the end, the ammo took the place of the food. (48:40) The company had come back to base for Christmas when Terry got there. That night, they set up NDP‟s (night deployment positions). They found a trail and set up ambush positions. It was after dark so they didn‟t dig in. Terry couldn‟t sleep and didn‟t know what to expect. In the middle of the night, someone was talking to them. He was Viet Cong and he thought they were friendly. The machine gunner fired at him and he ran off. (50:55) The next morning, they found the man wounded. He tried to attack them and was then killed. Terry asked if that happens every night and his men told him no. He found a 9mm Russian revolver during his time but was not able to bring it home. After his first night, things quieted down. (52:50) Terry experienced that the lulls in action would cause some to become complacent and that‟s when you got hit. They were out for a month to a month and a half before they came back to base. The 101st was present on Hamburger Hill. Terry knew a man, Ted Tees, who won two Silver Stars at that battle. He also saved Terry‟s life . (54:37) During a patrol, Terry led thirteen men with no medic. At night, they could hear the VC looking for them in the jungle. �        One night, Terry prayed to God and asked that if he was going to be killed or wounded he wanted to be done that night. The next morning Terry got a radio call from Ted and he told him that his grandmother had died and he arranged for emergency leave home. Ted was the RTO to the Battalion Commander. (56:59) Ted was given that job as a reward for his actions on Hamburger Hill. Terry‟s RTO, a Puerto Rican named Shorty, claimed that he could not speak much English, towards the end of his time there, he told Terry he could speak English just as well as he could. (58:39) He did that so he didn‟t have to do as much. Shorty was told to move a boulder and stump by using a rocket launcher. That didn‟t work so he used „det‟ cord (detonation) to blow them out of the ground. They were blown so high part of the stump went through the TOC (Tactical Operations Center) tent and almost killed the Lieutenant Colonel. (1:00:23) They never stayed in the same place twice. During a patrol, they saw heads bobbing in the distance so they triggered their claymore mines and set off their ambush. When they went down there and checked for bodies, blood or hair, they were unable to find anything. Terry remembered that once they set off their mines, a family of monkeys that were in that same vicinity climbed to the tops of the trees. (1:02:55) A day later, while on a night patrol, Terry was awoken because of a fire that was a kilometer away. He requested a fire mission and the fire went out. Thirty minutes later, the fire reappeared. He ordered another fire mission and the fire went out again. Thirty to forty-five minutes the fire appeared again and he called in another fire mission. The company commander asked Terry what was going on up there and he explained it. The next morning, they could not find anything and Terry believes that the fire was in a cave and was covered by a cloth once the incoming fire came in. (1:04:58) Emergency Leave (1:05:28)     Terry went on his emergency leave at the end of March, because of his grandmother passing away. He wasn‟t home in time for the funeral, but it took 18 hours to get from Vietnam to Chicago. And another 18 hours for him to get home. The delay was because of a terrible blizzard that occurred that year in 1970. When his leave was up, he got back to Vietnam and he ran into two of his men at Cam Ranh Bay. He learned that they had re-enlisted to get out of the field because their unit had been hit really hard while Terry was away. (1:07:43) To this day, he feels guilty that he wasn‟t there, because he may have been able to make better decisions that could have saved the lives of his men. Ripcord (1:09:36)   Come May, the Texas Star and Ripcord operations began. Terry witnessed from afar the shelling and destruction of Ripcord. (1:09:45) Once he got back into country, he did not get back into the field for a few weeks because of restructuring in the unit. �                 Terry and his unit went to Eagle Beach for R&R for a couple of days. In the village, they paid the MP so they could pass through the gate. The reason for going into the village was to see the women. After finding only one woman, they decided to just go back to the beach and drink beer. (1:13:04) While out in the field, they would sometimes stay at firebases. Most of the time however, they stayed out in the boonies. On one field mission, they saw smoke in the distance, so Terry and his men were tasked with investigating it. When they made it to the location, they discovered that it was steam from a hot spring running into a cold river. They set up a NDP and stayed for the night. (1:15:48) Since they were operating a night ambush, come morning the group didn‟t have anything to do so they spread out and formed a perimeter and they all took turns taking a hot bath in the spring. They liked the spot so much, that they stayed in the vicinity for three days. (1:17:40) Terry also enjoyed finding 1,000 pound bomb craters because they made instant swimming pools. Back at Camp Evans, they were attacked on occasion, so there was an established guard set up. Some men would smoke drugs and other things while back at the rear. (1:19:14) A platoon size varied, but was usually between 25-30 men. Sometimes they would be as low as 12-14. Terry had to harden his heart and tried to not get too close to his men because he never knew if they would be rotated out or be killed. (1:21:13) For the new guys coming in to the unit, they would tell them some of their folk tales about monsters or fictional things, but they worked with them and taught them how to survive. It was important to learn the system and how to operate together. For most of their AO (Area of Operations) they could see Ripcord because it was one of the highest points around. (1:25:07) They didn‟t know at the time how many NVA they were up against but Terry learned later that there were two regiments attacking Ripcord. When they landed at a hot LZ, Terry led his men to one side and John led his to the other. They were being attacked just enough that they were unable to dig in. John lost a couple of men, but Terry did not lose any. (1:27:03) One of Terry‟s men came up to him and asked him for help with his arm. Between his wrist and his elbow his arm was bent downwards. Terry asked him how he did it, and the man told him that a mortar round landed on his arm and did not explode. One of his new medics died of shock in the battle. Some time later, Terry found an article written by a helicopter pilot that was there that day flying out the wounded. In the article he mentions a sergeant that was running out and bringing the casualties from the battle to the landing zone. Terry realized that he was that sergeant. He e-mailed the pilot and thanked him for everything he did that day. (1:30:22) Another helicopter that day was hit by an RPG in the tail rotor. The pilots landed it and got away from it in case it exploded. Terry was told to go down and shut it off because it was on fire. He brought a pilot with him and they shut it off. (1:32:00) �   When it was time for him to be extracted, a medic came running out and grabbed onto one of the skids of the helicopter and held on until the wind became to strong he was blown off and fell into the jungle. (1:34:08) Terry was wounded himself, and another helicopter eventually came and picked him up. He took shrapnel from a mortar round earlier in the day, and still was able to work through it and help his men. Terry‟s captain was killed the day after Terry left the field [July 21]. He was killed by the rotors from a helicopter. (1:36:26) Wounded (1:37:25)       The same day that Terry was wounded, John Fraser was also wounded. Back at Camp Evans, the men were all happy to be out of the field. John was sent to Guam for his injuries and Terry was sent out to a hospital ship. On board the ship, they had an award ceremony where he received the Purple Heart and some other awards. (1:38:26) After he left the ship, he was sent to Japan to recover. While there he met up with John Fraser and the two walked up to the NCO club wearing their hospital robes. Terry was told to shave his mustache but he told them no. At the club, they had to use the latrine so they went in to go but John was in a wheel chair and couldn‟t get in the stall by himself. Terry helped him and when he did the stall door shut behind them. Realizing how stupid they must have looked, they began to laugh. While this was going on, two men came into the latrine and heard the two laughing in the stall. They quickly exited and when Terry and John came back out, every eye in the club was on them. (1:41:10) Terry was in Japan for only about a week or so. From there, he was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Hospital in Illinois. They informed him that he was eligible for disability. Today, he still has ringing in his ears and has to wear hearing aids. (1:43:50) Instead of waiting the extra month to get his disability, he decided to just go home. He was discharged at the end of August 1970. Civilian Life (1:44:55)        Terry was married before he went into the service but it ended up in a divorce. He also took more college classes and continued with the business major. While attending Western Michigan University, Terry met his wife and they were married after ten months of dating. (1:46:06) Before he had graduated, he found a job with the Michelin Tire Corporation. He went in for an interview and he was asked to shave his mustache, which he did. He had a choice between Atlanta and Detroit, and he chose to move down to Atlanta. They later moved back to Michigan and Terry became an apprentice at a tool and die company and started a landscaping business on the side. (1:48:28) Terry finished his apprenticeship and began working for a company named RJ Tower and worked as a tool engineer. The company had two customers, Ford and Honda. His father-in-law later offered him a sales position at his company so that his daughter would be closer to home. He later became one of his role models because of his integrity. (1:52:00) Terry spent twenty five years working with Honda as a tool supplier. �      After Vietnam, Terry would wake up in the middle of the night with dreams about the war. He never slept with a weapon but he did have a problem with his temper. (1:55:05) He learned to control it because he wanted to be a successful businessman. His military service helped him develop loyalty, and he loves to talk to people. It also strengthened his faith in God and Jesus Christ. Vietnam also helped him realize that he shouldn‟t worry about things that he can‟t control. (1:58:43) He has compassion for the people that blame the problems in their lives to their military service, he doesn‟t accept it, but he has compassion for those people. For treating PTSD, the answer is not drugs, but instead to have other veterans that made the same sacrifices come along side them and help them to understand that life can move forward.

Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Claire Chennault as he trained Chinese pilots and established the AVG. Interviews with members of the American Volunteer Group (AVG) “Flying Tigers” were conducted by Frank Boring for the documentary film Fei Hu: The Story of the Flying Tigers, which he co-produced with Frank Christopher under the production company Fei Hu Films. The AVG Flying Tigers were a group of American aviators, mechanics, medical and administrative military personnel, led by Col. Claire Chennault to assist the Chinese Air Force in their defense against Japanese air strikes from 1941-1942. The AVG Flying Tigers also flew in defense of the Burma Road, a major Chinese military supply route.

Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued.
