Douglas R. Gilbert (b. 1942) is an American photographer from Michigan. He was born in Holland, Michigan and is the son of Russell W. and Carmen (Andree) Gilbert. Gilbert earned a B.A. in social sciences and art at Michigan State University in 1964, an M.S. in photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1972, and a M.S.W. from Salem State College in 1993. He is married to Barbara (McDonald) Gilbert, and has three daughters, Robyn, Rachel, and Anne. Gilbert took a serious interest in photography at the age of fourteen. In 1963 he joined the staff of Look magazine in New York as the second youngest photojournalist in the magazine's history. As a Look photographer from 1964 to 1966, he photographed folk musician Bob Dylan, the Newport Folk Festival, Simon and Garfunkel, the New York City Financial District, the children and facilities at the Manhattan School for Seriously Disturbed Children. From 1967 to 1969, Gilbert did several shoots, including that of folk singer Janis Ian for Life magazine. After moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1969 to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology, Gilbert conducted notable photo shoots of business and political figure Lenore Romney, and pursued more personal and artistic photography, focusing on urban and rural landscapes in Illinois and Michigan. He then joined the faculty of Wheaton College, where he taught from 1972 to 1982. In 1993, Gilbert graduated from Salem State College, Massachusetts, with a Masters in Social Work, and later pursued a second career as a psychotherapist. Douglas Gilbert died in June 2023.
Throughout his photography career, he pursued both freelance commercial work as well as artistic work. His art photography is characterized by its classic black-and-white format, and features people, places and objects shot great attention and sensitivity. Gilbert's works are held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and the Grand Valley State University Art Galleries, as well as in numerous private and institutional collections.

Photographs, negatives, and lantern slides digitized from the papers of engineer and archaeologist Robert H. Merrill. A Grand Rapids native, Merrill held an accomplished career as a civil engineer. He founded the company Spooner & Merrill, which held offices in Grand Rapids and Chicago.

RE:
Muskegon House of Jewish Worship
Gentlemen:
We wish to acknowledge receipt of Certificate of Extension of Corporate Term
and $5.00 fees.
submitted for the above named corporation a nd regret t hat it is necessary to
return the papers for the following corrections:
The vote to extend the extension of term should be taken by four-fifths of the
members rather than two-thirds, inasmuch as your term expired June 24 , 1968.
We' also note that you have extended the term for only one year. You would ,
therefore, be required to file another extension one year from this date. We
wish to advise that you may have perpetual extension if you wish.
l
We. wish to advise that nnly one copy of the enclosed corporate form is required
to be returned to this office for filing. Act 327, P.A. of 1931 was amended by
Act 194, P.A. of 1967 and provides that only one originally executed copy of
corporate documents, excluding annual reports, is required to be submitted for
filing. Two true copies are to be prepared by this Department, pursuant to the
provisions of Act 194, one of which will be forwarded to the county clerk and one
will be returned for the corporation's files at the time the filing is completed
in this office. Please return the original copy of the corporate document to
this offi ce for filing.
Fees which were remitted, if any, will be held in this office pending return
of the corrected papers. We shall appreciate your prompt attention to this
matter. ·
Very truly yours,

ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW
PAUL CETON
Interviewed by: James Smither PhD, GVSU Veterans History Project
Transcribed by: Rachel Ayers, June 10, 2014
Interviewer: We’re talking today with Paul Ceton of Grand Rapids Michigan, and the
interviewer is James Smither, of Grand Valley State University Veterans History Project.
Now, Paul, can you start with a little bit of background on yourself, to start with, where
and when were you born?
Actually born in Muskegon, Michigan, although we lived in Fruitport, little village just southeast
of there.
Interviewer: And what year was that?
1946.
Interviewer: All right, did you grow up in that area?
Actually till I was almost four years old when we moved to Grand Rapids. My dad got work in
Grand Rapids so we‟re the only part of our family that, all our relatives stayed in Muskegon area
but we moved on here and I‟m sure glad we did.
Interviewer: All right, and what kind of work did your father do?
Actually, a lot of things. He was a minister, he was a farmer, he was a car salesman, and he
wound up working at maintenance department at Ferguson hospital, which doesn‟t exist
anymore.
Interviewer: And did you go through, through school then in Grand Rapids? 1:00
Went to Central High School, actually I went to Fountain Grade School and Central High School
and they‟re right on the same block so I never had to walk more than a block away to school.
Interviewer: All right. And then what year did you graduate from high school?
1964.
Interviewer: Okay. And then at the point when you graduated what did you do?
I went to Grand Rapids Junior College, which is community college now, and I was working
between thirty-three and like thirty-nine hours a week and still taking a full course at Junior
College so it was kinda rough.
�Interviewer: Well, what kind of work were you doing?
Working at a gas station. Corner of Michigan and Lafayette which of course doesn‟t exist
anymore.
Interviewer: All right, and did you have plans for what you were gonna do coming out of
college or…
I didn‟t have any concrete plans. 1:54 One of the things I really wanted to be when I was much
younger was a pilot, and back then, I don‟t know what the standards are now, but you had to
have perfect eyesight and I had 20/20 in my left eye, 20/60 in my right eye, so I thought, well,
forget that, but I was always interested in carpentry. That‟s kinda what I wanted to do.
Interviewer: Okay. Now, how did you wind up in the Army?
Well, I got drafted. (laughs) And it was October of „66 which was, I believe, the highest draft
call since the Korean War. And I was just an average student so I was very vulnerable. I have
an identical twin brother who was at Western Michigan at the time and he was pulling all A‟s so
I made it in and he didn‟t.
Interviewer: All right, so once you’re drafted, then where do you first report and how does
that process work? 2:52
Well, we met at -- took off from the bus station here in Grand Rapid and took a bus down to
Detroit, and went through a processing center down there, and then we got a on a train and went
to Fort Knox, Kentucky, and we only stayed there two or three days because it was jam packed.
And so they sent us down to Fort Hood, Texas, which really wasn‟t a basic training site but
because of the huge amount of people coming in they opened that up to basic training.
Interviewer: All right, how did they get you down to Fort Hood?
We flew. Actually I think we flew from Fort Knox to St. Louis, and then down to Dallas, and, I
think -- I should remember this but I don‟t. I think we took buses then down to Fort Hood.
Interviewer: All right, now, was Fort Hood ready for you?
Yeah. I wasn‟t ready for them.
Interviewer: All right. Describe a little bit how the basic training process worked for you.
Well, it was, course, just culture shock for me. 4:03 I‟d never been anything through that, or
like that. Very intense, and looking back on it, you know, they were very, very tough on us and I
was sure glad they were. They excellent instructor, instructors down there. They got us ready
in, in fact we had AIT after that. Advanced Infantry Training, which was just as intense, then we
went through another series, Basic Unit Training after that. In all we spent a year at Fort Hood
basically training for Vietnam.
�Interviewer: Okay, now describe a little bit the, the physical setup there, what was the
base like, how was it laid out, where were you on it?
The base was actually, it‟s pretty flat land down there. You‟re just a little bit north of the hill
country, north of Austin a little bit. Lot hotter, of course, than it is here. 4:58 And the barracks
we had, we were in -- of course, they don‟t have this anymore -- but that, all open. You‟ve got
like fifty beds in the open and just showers and bathrooms that are all open, and absolutely no
privacy. And after the eight weeks of basic training we wound up going to a different set up
barracks which were more modern, and we had a little bit more privacy there.
Interviewer: Okay. How much emphasis did they place just on the military discipline, that
sort of thing?
It was incredible emphasis and… almost to the point of brain washing. But I think that‟s got to
be a part of it to make it mentally tough and ready for what you were going into.
Interviewer: Okay, now, what kind of physical shape were you in when you went down
there?
Actually looking at me now, look at me then, are two different people. I was in pretty good
shape, I was, actually, I‟ve shrunk a little bit. 6:00 I was 5‟10”, about 145 pounds and they have
a physical test -- PT test, they call it -- before you go over, and there‟s five events and it‟s 100
points for each of that. And I wound up with 500 points, so I was in pretty good shape.
Interviewer: So that part of it you were pretty much able to handle, or to deal with, or did
they push you a little farther than you’d been pushed before physically?
Well, it‟s interesting. I, I‟ve always been very competitive in athletics, never a good athlete, but
just a great desire to do my best, and I was a cross country runner in high school, and I ran track,
I ran the mile, and one, one kid down there pushed me. And you know we, we‟d run a hundredyard-dash, and I couldn‟t come close to him. But he said, “I can beat you in a mile, too,” and he
pushed me. And out of our whole company of a hundred-some people I finished first and he was
right on my, my rear-end, so. 7:04 Yeah I‟d… very physical atmosphere, and there‟s a lot of
guys who just weren‟t cutting it. Every time before we went to breakfast we had to do like ten
pull-ups, and I know one guy, he couldn‟t even do two of them, and he was done. But that was
fairly easy for most of us.
Interviewer: Okay -Not now!
Interviewer: If people were kind of falling behind or having trouble, I mean, would they
wash out or just keep doing it over and over again?
�They really whipped those guys into shape, and, as far as I know, from our platoon, I don‟t think
anybody did not make it.
They all came out physically much better than what they came in.
Interviewer: Okay, now, as you go through your stages and levels of training, what kinds
of things get added on to the basic PT and discipline stuff? 7:57
Basically, just, you learn a lot about the enemy, you learn about the habitat, what kind of
situations there are in Vietnam. We knew pretty much from the start we‟re all headed to
Vietnam, and basically Fort Hood was set up with, of course, a lot of helicopters, we did
helicopter training down there, but they had mock-up villages, very well simulated what you
actually had in Vietnam.
Interviewer: Okay. Did they have any effort to simulate jungle?
Yes.
Interviewer: Okay, now where would you have jungle at Fort Hood?
Basically, there‟s way out -- Fort Hood is actually the largest physical base, so there‟s a lot of
terrain changes out there, and of course you couldn‟t really replicate the, the type of trees they
had, but did that with the trees that they had, and the huts and everything that they made were,
looked actually like you saw in Vietnam. So…. 9:00
Interviewer: And were the people who were training you at that level, had they been to
Vietnam?
Most of them, yeah. Yeah, in fact, I think every one of our DIs had been there.
Interviewer: All right, and this is still ‘66 or are you in ‘67 now for a lot of that or….
1966, I believe, was October that I wound up down there, yes and then spent a year there. In
October „67 we deployed.
Interviewer: Okay, yeah, and by the time you’re getting into ‘67 you would be having
more guys who were rotating back who had their tours and been there and come out.
Right.
Interviewer: Yeah.
And, interesting you say that because a lot of them were really helpful, gave us a lot of good
advice, and then some of them just, they scared us to death, but you know, with what they were
saying went over there. Some knew how to prepare us and some really didn‟t. 9:56
�Interviewer: So there were some that were still kind of working out whatever their own
issues where and they just happened to be trainers at that point.
Yes.
Interviewer: All right, now, as this is going forward, what kind of attitude or expectation
did you have now for the prospect of going to Vietnam? Was it real to you yet, or was it
still just kind of this, this, this challenge or this thing you do or…
I don‟t think it was really real until we set foot in, in Vietnam and it was just a day-by-day thing.
You know I‟m a man of faith, and, and prayer really helped me get through the situation.
Interviewer: Okay. Now you spent a year at Fort Hood. Eventually, do you get liberty, do
you get to go off base and do other things and sort of have a rest of a life there or…
Yes, most of the time I stayed right on base because I loved to wrestle, and I used to wrestle a
lot. We would box. I liked to stay on base and just box, and we‟d play a lot of football, and I
tried to save my money. 11:05 A lot of guys, they went to Waco, or Temple, some of the
towns around there, Killeen, and spent all their money and got drunk. I wasn‟t a drinker
…so I just enjoyed staying on base and just doing physical things.
Interviewer: All right, now, did you have a specialized assignment that you were training
for or were you just gonna go in, be a rifleman?
Rifleman. Actually I trained with the rifle but I got assigned to a grenade launcher when I was
over there.
Interviewer: Okay, but not while, but not, but you weren’t specifically in that, slotted for
that when you were back at Fort Hood though?
Yeah, Fort Hood, I‟d basically trained with the M16.
Interviewer: And did they do some kind of cross training on the different infantry
weapons?
Yes. Pretty much everything. We all got to fire the 50s and the 60s and the grenade launchers
and of course grenades. 12:00 Yeah, we were all pretty well cross trained.
Interviewer: Okay. Then word comes down that you’re actually going to ship out. Now,
at this point are you going over there as replacements or are you going over there as an
organized unit?
We‟re going as an organized unit, Americal Division, which was, I believe the World War II,
they were involved in, and then they shut down, then reactivated it for Vietnam. And we were
part of 198th Infantry Brigade, and we were going over there to take over for where the 196th
brigade was. So, yeah, pretty much we were over there to take over for a lot of other units.
�Interviewer: But you’re going over there with a group of men that you’ve trained
alongside them so you know each other.
Right, and I feel very fortunate that, in that, because -- one thing they tell you, you know, don‟t
make friends, you know, because you‟re gonna lose them -- and we did lose a lot of guys, but
you cannot not make friends. 13:08 And to this day my best friends are, you know, we‟re
scattered all over the country, but they‟re the guys that I fought with.
Interviewer: Right.
Incredible group of guys, so….
Interviewer: Okay. And were you keeping basically the same junior officers, Sergeants,
and so forth too, I mean the whole unit, or were those guys rotating in and out?
We stayed pretty much as one unit until three months in when I got hit, I lost my right eye, which
is my twenty -- 20/20 eye, I lost my best eye. But we lost a lot of guys that day. One guy killed,
and I think there were thirty-two, thirty-three of us out on patrol that day. We were going out on
like a five or six day patrol, but this first day ran into a booby trapped area, a mined area, and
quite a few out of the thirty-three, thirty-two, thirty-three, I think at least eighteen or nineteen got
hit. 14:05
Interviewer: That’s jumping ahead a little bit in the story here at this point, so we’ll kind
of fill that out a little bit more. Part of it was that sometimes you have people who trained
you and then they’d get rotated out of your unit, and new guys or new officers would come
in, and that happened even with some units that were formed as units as they were sent
over. So if you managed to keep the, pretty much the whole cadre there, that was a little
bit of an unusual situation.
Right. Up until that point and then that‟s when people started, we got a lot of replacements in.
Course, take care of the guys who couldn‟t go back.
Interviewer: Right.
And up until that point we‟d lost some people but not very many. That was a rough day.
Interviewer: Right. And you didn’t have people just rotating out for administrative
reasons and being replaced by new guys.
No.
Interviewer: Right, okay, so we kind of -- so you’ve got your years’ worth of training and
working together as a unit in Texas late in ‘67, now the word is to go to Vietnam, do you get
to go home before you go overseas? 15:03
�Yeah, we had two week leave. In fact one of the guys, good friend who got killed at that day,
got married on that leave. We tried to talk him out of it and, but anyways….
Interviewer: What was -Just as a side note, I went this past Memorial Day, he‟s from Mobley, Michigan, and I went to
upland Michigan. I hadn‟t had any contact with his family, you know, or anything, and I went to
that, and they did have a little memorial service there, and I talked to one of the speakers
afterwards and said, “Do you know of this family?” He says, “You know, over there, that‟s his
sister.” And so we talked and we talked for… we went to the cemetery, it was only about a mile
away, small town, and we cried, we laughed, took a lot of pictures, and it was just very moving
moment for, for them and me, and I‟ve invited her to our next reunion this coming summer in
Delaware, and I sure hope she comes. 16:21
Interviewer: All right, now, for you, what was it like to go back home for a couple weeks?
You’d been in the army for a year; they’re sending you off to Vietnam….
It‟s bittersweet, you know, I had been dating who is now my wife, and knowing that now I
would have just two weeks, you know, to spend with her, and, you know, it was just so awesome
to see her, and my family, it was just, came from a great family, and friends, but to leave after
that two weeks knowing I might not see anybody again… that was the hardest thing I ever had to
do. 17:02
Interviewer: And did you go back from Michigan back to Fort Hood directly, or did you
go somewhere else?
Right. We went to Fort Hood. And I think within a couple days we boarded a train and train
went right to Oakland, California. We got on a ship and left Oakland, California, I think it took
eighteen, nineteen days to sail over.
Interviewer: All right. What kind of ship were you on?
It was an old, like a troop ship.
It wasn‟t, it wasn‟t a military boat so-to-speak, like a battleship or anything like that. It was just
a troop transport.
Interviewer: Okay. And about how many of you were on it do you think?
I knew you were gonna ask that. Umm. Well it was a brigade, so …
Interviewer: That could be -There were several thousand …
Interviewer: Yeah.
�… on that boat.
Interviewer: Okay, so it’s a big troop ship.
Yeah.
Interviewer: All right. And had you ever been out to sea before or… just lake Michigan if
that? 17:59
Lake Michigan. I had an uncle who loved going on the Milwaukee Clipper. He‟d take us there
to Milwaukee from Muskegon, and then there‟s a boat went from Detroit to Cleveland, you
know, he‟d take us on that so I‟d been on ships.
Interviewer: Okay. So, what was the trip like?
That‟s a good question, because before we went certain guys were assigned duties on that ship,
like that had to work KP, clean-up crews, different jobs, and they had those jobs the whole way
over. Where the rest of us, all we did, we played cards, wrote, just, just had fellowship, and so it
was -- I was kind of at peace, in a way. You know, what else could you do, you know? And
again your faith is what really sustained you.
Interviewer: And what was the weather like on the trip over? 18:58
It was very nice. Nice and warm. We were, I believe, north of Hawaii and way off the distance
we saw a typhoon. You know, but where we were was very nice so… Very, very nice.
Interviewer: So you didn’t have a lot of rough weather. Did people get sick anyway?
Lot of people got sick. In fact the guys assigned to the clean-up crews, they didn‟t do a good job
with the latrines and it was a mess pretty much the whole trip over.
Interviewer: All right. Did it stop any place on the way to Vietnam or did it just sail right
there?
Stopped in the Philippines, they took on supplies in Subic Bay, I believe it was. And I‟m not a
drinker but I had my first drink ever -- can you believe I‟m twenty years old and I hadn‟t had a
drink, but I had one, a Singapore Sling, and I may have been the only sober person going back
to that ship. 19:56
Interviewer: Now, were you just drinking, did you have to stay on the base or were they
letting you go into town?
We had to stay on base, but you couldn‟t go into town. There was a fenced-off area from the
base, you couldn‟t get out.
�Interviewer: Right.
We were stuck there.
Interviewer: Okay. That was kind of an interesting area. People who spent more time
there have had some stories about that.
Yeah.
Interviewer: So, they provided a fair amount on base to keep you occupied instead. All
right. Then you’ve stopped there and then is it from the Philippines then straight to
Vietnam?
Yes.
Interviewer: Okay, and where did you land in Vietnam?
We came in at Da Nang
Interviewer: Okay.
… and spent a couple days at Da Nang. And then we got shipped down to Chu Lai, which is
about forty miles south of there. And then from Chu Lai, we went to a series of villages called
the Van Truong Peninsula I believe. And there‟s Van Truong One, Van Truong Two, Three,
Four, whatever. 20:55 And we just kind of were out there right by South China Sea, absolutely
gorgeous. And we were, just our company was there. The rest of the battalions of the Americal
was spread over pretty much that whole area. So we were just a hundred fifty, two hundred men.
You know, pretty much on a hill.
Interviewer: Okay. What was your first impression of Vietnam when you got there?
Absolutely beautiful. We didn‟t have any contact with any of the, you know, the locals, at least
right away. And we went to a place actually LZ Paradise it was called. Probably because it was
so beautiful. And, but, it‟s interesting, we would have a barber come up, you know, a local
Vietnamese, and cut our hair. And we had gals come up and did the laundry and things like that.
And after some time, and I don‟t know how this came about, but we found that the barber had a
map of our compound. 21:59 So I mean, the stories about, you know, by day they‟re your
friends, and by night they‟re gonna kill you, pretty much true because you had no idea, and in the
three months I was there, you know, we had the Viet Cong, and you had the north Vietnamese
army, where we were, were mostly Viet Cong, but I saw in that three months only one uniformed
NVA soldier, and part of that was, you know, they knew where we were all the time. We always
felt that they knew where we were, and, and with all the thick vegetation there it was hard to see
you know, any distance at all. So….
�Interviewer: Okay. Now. You’re sent down to the Van Truong Peninsula, you’re just
company sized unit, you’re a hundred fifty or so men, what were you doing down there?
22:51
Basically, what we did is we‟d stay probably on base two, three days, and then we‟d go out.
Sometimes we‟d go on just a one day patrol, which would be just a platoon size. And sometimes
we‟d go out with two or three different platoons, and search and destroy missions, you know,
you‟d just basically, what you‟re going out to the jungle and I had no idea where we were. Only,
you know, certain people had the maps. And it was tough to tell where you were at, but we were
to search the enemy and engage them and generally, you know, they engaged us first, of course,
because they knew -- and you know, you hear the stories of one guy paring down a whole
company? I mean, that happened to us. Several times. You know, you‟d just get a sniper and
you‟d hear the shots and you have no idea where it‟s coming from. And then of course every
now and then you run into a firefight. Booby traps. And just rough all the way around.
Interviewer: Okay. Now, did you have sort of a permanent base camp of some kind or did
you just go from place to place? 24:00
We, we pretty much stayed at that -- the three months I was there, we pretty much stayed there. I
know that after I shipped out they moved quite a bit. Several different places.
Interviewer: Okay. Now what kind of defenses or set up did you actually have in your
base?
We had concertina wire which is kind of triple barbed wire. And we had claymore mines and a
claymore mine is kind of in an arc, so it sprays out, you know, I don‟t know, a hundred twenty
degrees or so. And, you know, we had the remote control command detonated, and sometimes
the Vietnamese or the Viet Cong would come and they would turn those around. And so, and
you wouldn‟t know it, I mean -- crafty people. And fortunately we never had one turned on us,
but I‟ve heard that they have and people got killed that way. 25:07
Interviewer: Now, what was the sort of the first contact that you or your unit had with any
enemy?
I‟d say probably the first time we went out, after we got to that. We had none when we first
came into Da Nang, pretty secure area there, but when we got to the hill after just a few days,
you know, we went out patrolling, and it was a while, probably a week, two weeks, before we
got in a firefight. But we‟d go out and virtually every time we went out you‟d hear the sniper
fire. And have no idea where it‟s coming from. Eventually it‟d stop.
Interviewer: Now, did you have any South Vietnamese military working with you? Did
you have any kind of guides or translators or anything else like that?
Not really with us. There were some in, in our company but with our platoon we didn‟t have
any. 26:00
�Interviewer: Okay. Now let’s -- was there some sort of routine that you had while you
were there? I mean the regular, you talked a little bit, you’d have sort of patrols of a day
or two or so. I mean physically how do those work? What happens when you go out on
patrol?
Well, if it‟s like a, say, just a one day patrol, you just, you know, we‟d go out pretty much single
file, and you‟d come back, you know, in seven, eight hours. If you went on a multi-day patrol
like we were on when I got hit, you carried a lot of, a lot more ammo, and clothing, and extra
socks, even though you didn‟t change much, you know. And it was, it could be thirty, forty extra
pounds when, you know, when you got all the, you know, we always carried grenades, and of
course the guys, the machine gunners, the ammo bearers, really carried a lot of weight, cause
those were also pretty heavy. 27:05
Interviewer: Now, when you were out and you’re patrolling or whatever were you on trails
through jungle or just making your own or….
Pretty much on trails, and that‟s a great question, because, you know, the one thing that we
prepared for in Texas is you don‟t want to go on trails because they‟re gonna be booby trapped,
and of course a lot of times they were, but you had no choice in a lot of areas to get through all
that the jungle growth, I mean, other than to chop trails down which we didn‟t take the time to
do. We pretty much went on established trails.
Interviewer: And how spread out were you as you’re moving along? You said you’re
single file. How much distance would you put between men?
That‟s a good question because when I look on TV, you know, these guys are one right after
another, and that‟s the first thing I thought of, is that‟s exactly what they tell you not to do
because we were spread out probably ten yards apart maybe. 28:06
Interviewer: And then when something happens, if you hear a shot or there’s a sniper or
something else like that, then what do you do?
Basically, if there‟s enough room, you form a perimeter, depends on the foliage and everything,
but if there‟s, if it‟s pretty thick, you just get down where you‟re at. The case where I got hit we
had enough room that we did form a perimeter and we were taking fire from pretty much
everywhere. As well as the booby traps going off.
Interviewer: All right. Now in the -- initially, when you said you were just getting sniper
here, a sniper there, basically, people just hit the dirt or whatever and wait to see what
happens and then get up and go again? Or? In those cases when you’re not being hit by a
whole unit or something? 28:56
Yeah. After a while it subsides, you know, because when you‟re getting sniped at it‟s, it‟s not
rapid fire, it‟s just a shot, and then a minute later you got another shot, cause it‟s only usually
one, maybe two, guys out there. So after a while you just, you know, you get up and go.
�Interviewer: Would you make any effort to maneuver against them or try to find them or
just….
Yeah. Basically depends on where you were. The guys more towards the front or to wherever
the fire was coming from would form a little group, you know, and try to go out but usually, in
fact probably never, successful in finding them.
Interviewer: All right. Then if you get into a more serious fight, did you, would you walk
actually into ambushes or just bump into an enemy unit and start shooting or…. 29:54
Yeah, and again, you have no idea, sometimes, where it‟s coming from, so you try again to form
a perimeter as well as you can, but what you‟re doing, you‟re just, we got one guy shooting this
way and one guy shooting that way, cause, you know, it‟s hard to, to hear exactly where it‟s
coming from, and, in my case I carried what‟s called M79 grenade launcher, and I just fired out,
you know, shoot, kind of, have to shoot it kind of high, because I don‟t want to hit anything, any
of the foliage around, impede its progress.
Interviewer: Now was that a useful weapon to have in a jungle?
In most cases no. (laughs) I did feel -- I‟d‟ve felt a lot more secure if I had a M16 but did have,
carried a .45 with me. But still. It‟s not like having a automatic rifle.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm. But you really don’t have the right kind of targets really for a
grenade launcher if you can’t see anything. 30:59
No. You just, you know, you just lob it. I can‟t exactly remember the exact range of that thing
but it could do a lot of damage and I have no idea if I hit anybody or not.
Interviewer: Now, when you’re doing the day patrols or when you’re not on patrol when
you’re in the base camp at night what was that normally like?
We‟d, we‟d play cards. We played a lot of cards. There wasn‟t a lot really to do. I think there
was a area close to the center of our, you know, where you could watch movies, and we‟re very
close to South China Sea, and every now and then we‟d go down to the sea and, you know, take
a dip. But there wasn‟t a whole lot to do. Write letters, wrote a lot of letters. That was the, the
thing you look forward to the most over there was getting a letter from home.
Interviewer: Well, were you getting, would you get fired on at night? Would there be
mortar attacks or things like that, or was it pretty quiet? 32:02
Actually, where we were at most of it was during the day, but every now and then you‟d get
incoming mortar rounds. Fortunately they weren‟t real good with their aiming. But I remember
the scariest time I had over there was not even when I was engaged in combat, but it was when
we were called to go, and this was night time, and it was a ways away but we could see all the
lasers and everything going on, hear the intense fighting going on, and they said, “Get ready, we
gotta go.” And we got all our gear together and for some reason the fighting ceased and we
�didn‟t have to go, but to, to, you know, just, to, the thought that you had to go on and into that
intense battle that was going on, was scary. 33:02
Interviewer: Cause you hadn’t really had an experience like that you’d just been…
No.
Interviewer: … this very small scale stuff.
Right. Pretty much small scale. Kind of another really scary moment, moment, we‟re all out on
patrol, and I was out on LP, Listening Post, and you had to go out maybe -- everything was
meters then, I don‟t relate to meters so well -- but maybe fifty yards out, and again, thick foliage,
and I didn‟t go out as far as I was supposed to, I mean, you know, you just hear things and that
night, probably the middle of the night, I heard a grenade go off and I thought, “Oh, wow, what‟s
that?” Cause it was back to, you know, back where the rest of the guys were. That morning,
what had happened, my best friend -- in fact, he still is, from Dubuque Iowa -- some Viet Cong
tossed something towards his position hoping that he‟d fire his rifle so they‟d see the muzzle
flash, and so he thought, “No, I‟ll just throw a grenade.” 34:11 Which I probably wouldn‟t
have thought of. And next morning the guy was dead.
Interviewer: All right. Describe a little bit what it was like to go out on one of the more
extended patrols. You’re not just stomping around in the jungle for a while and going
back to the, to the base, you’re staying out there. What was that like?
It was, it, very interesting, in that, you know, sometimes you would get loud, you would think,
because you‟d go a whole day and not really have any fired on, you kind of relax a little bit, your
guard a little bit, and all the sudden you start getting the snipers or little bit more extended smallarms fire coming at you. 34:58 I remember one time, crossing a concrete bridge, and again I
think it was forty, fifty yards long, going over some water, and rice paddies, there, there was a
little bit more open ground, and when one guy got half-way across that, because we were being
fired on -- in small, I mean, just a sniper, not all out -- so when the guy got half-way across, then
the next guy started, you know, to keep that distance, and I was probably most scared guy there
because when I ran, I was right on the rear end of the guy that was half-way across, and I wasn‟t
that fast but I was that scared.
Interviewer: All right, and then what would you do at night, if you’re out on patrol?
Basically, you just, we just stayed about two guys together around the perimeter, and again, I‟m
not sure what the Listening Post where you go out the fifty, sixty yards, whatever it is, probably
four or five guys, you know, were around that perimeter, would do that, but you didn‟t do
anything, you just, you kept quiet. 36:13 And, you know, hoping that the enemy didn‟t know
where you were, but like I said, I think that they always knew where we were.
Interviewer: And when you were on a listening post, do you have a radio of some kind,
could you communicate back?
�Yes.
Interviewer: Okay.
Yeah.
Interviewer: Now, when, did you have the lieutenant commanding the platoon, was that
how that worked, or a sergeant or ….
We had a lieutenant. Sometimes when we went on a company operation we had the, the
captain…
Interviewer: Right, right….
… go with us, but basically, it was our lieutenant, and he was, he was good. Very good. We had
a, and again I‟m so thankful for that extended training that we had back at Fort Hood. 36:58
Not only for the great training that we had, but I felt very blessed that we knew each other. We
were pretty much all friends. It didn‟t care if you were black or white, Latino, we were, we
were, we didn‟t see that. We were just friends. And I talked to a lot of veterans who went over
like you were talking about before, just replacements, had no idea who these guys were, and so I
feel very fortunate, cause, like I say, we have a reunion every three years with these guys. It‟s
very, very special.
Interviewer: What was the sort of the social or ethnic mix of that unit you were in, the
platoon or company?
We were mostly Caucasian, and I think between African American and Latino was probably
pretty even, but I‟d say maybe fifteen, twenty percent.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm. 38:00
I think was higher than that in most units but, and interestingly enough, the perception of the
Vietnam soldier is pretty much an uneducated person, we had, most of us guys were draftees,
and very, a very large amount were college graduates. I wasn‟t, but, you know, I was in
college…
Interviewer: Right.
… when I got drafted so, lot of misconceptions about who the real Vietnam soldier really is.
Interviewer: Sort of a lot more middle class background and …
Yes.
Interviewer: …not so much just, you know, working class.
�Yeah, we had, we were probably mostly middle class; a few that that weren‟t quite middle class
but….
Interviewer: All right. So, okay, we again go back again into the, in with your unit out
there. When you were out there on those longer patrols, would you get attacked at night or
did things stay quiet or…. 38:59
Basically night, night was pretty quiet. At least where we were. Now virtually every night, we
could hear fighting going on. And you not only hear it but you‟d see the lasers like every fifth
round on weapons.
Interviewer: Yes, the tracers.
The tracer rounds yeah, yeah, laser, not tracer.
Interviewer: Getting too modernized there.
Yeah. (laughs) And every now and then, you‟d see the cobra helicopters shooting those rounds,
I mean the tracers, they were firing so fast it was like a, just a steady stream of light. And even
though we weren‟t really into that it was very scary. Just seeing that, cause you know it could
happen any minute to you.
Interviewer: Now did you wind up getting yourselves into any kind of larger scale fire
fights?
The, the biggest one -- we did. 40:00 The biggest one was when I got hit and there were, like I
said, thirty to thirty-three of us. Nineteen got hit and most of the, the damage was done by the
either land mines or booby traps. But, you know, Michael, the one, the one guy who did get
killed, from Mobley, I had heard he took four rounds as well as the shrapnel. He was pretty
much gone right there.
Interviewer: Did you have any, did you ever have artillery support or air support when
you were out there or was -- you just kind of on your own on the ground?
Yeah we did have artillery support. In fact, one time, and this was twelve days before I got hit,
we were coming to a village where -- another platoon from our company had been to that village
the day before, and took quite a few casualties. 41:03 I mean, they lost, I don‟t think anybody
got killed, but they, they had a lot of injuries. And we were coming to that village, kind of take
care of business, and so before we came in there they called in a artillery, and the artillery was
actually coming in on us, so the lieutenant calling it in, Lieutenant Fine said, “Everybody get
down.” And he‟s the only one that didn‟t. And he got killed and he‟s the one actually calling the
artillery, you know, I don‟t know if he‟s who made the mistake, the guys actually back at the
base there, or him, but anyways they got him out of there, and this is the one time I actually
volunteered to walk point, to go into to that village. I don‟t know why I did. 41:59 Cause you
don‟t volunteer -- you‟re the first one they see and so normally I would be second and where
there‟s a little lake on this side and it‟s pretty much all vegetation, jungle, vegetation on this side.
�And came into a clearing and the village is over on the side of the lake, pretty small lake, like
Fisk Lake here…
Interviewer: Yeah.
…in Grand Rapids. And when they saw me, they hit a command detonated mine. And by the
time they saw me I was past it, and where I would‟ve been second, that guy got killed. And I
have no idea, and I believe, you know, that was God‟s intention. Why he saved me or spared me
and Casey didn‟t make it, he was gone right there, I‟ll only know that when I meet him in glory.
Interviewer: At that point, when that does happen, you’re up front, the mine’s blasted
behind you, everyone else is behind you, what happens next? 43:01
Not only did Casey get it, two guys behind him got a little bit, but not bad. They didn‟t have to
be medevaced or anything, just Casey. And… but we all, then they started firing at us, in fact, I,
course couldn‟t see anything but a bullet went right by my head, and I just, and there was a
depression in the ground, they say never go into that because that could be booby trapped, but I
thought, it‟s either taking a bullet in the head or, you know, I took my chance, got down, and
after a while that firing subsided and we went into the village and I really don‟t remember too
much after that, cause I was just pretty much traumatized by what happened to Casey.
Interviewer: Did they call in artillery or, or helicopters when you got under fire like that?
No. It wasn‟t a long lasting event.
Interviewer: Okay.
And the only chopper that really came in was to, to take Casey out. 44:02
Interviewer: All right. And the lieutenant who got hit was, that your platoon leader or a
different lieutenant who was an observer?
Right, he was an observer with the artillery…
Interviewer: Okay.
…crew.
Interviewer: All right.
In fact, we didn‟t even know who he was, just his name.
Interviewer: All right. Now, you mentioned you’re going into a village, I mean, did you
wind up seeing much at all of the local population while you were out there?
�Not, not really. The villages were all pretty small, and it‟s, again, you don‟t know if they‟re your
enemy or if they‟re your friend, but the thing I remember most is the kids. You know, and you
just kind of fell in love with those kids even though you‟re in a country, these are the people
you‟re fighting. 44:53 Because you don‟t know, even though we‟re in South Vietnam, which
we‟re trying to keep from being a Communist, have a Communist takeover, you just have a love
for those kids. In fact, I remember one time, we were in a village, very, right on the edge of the
South China Sea there, and I remember this young woman, nineteen, twenty, she was nursing a
baby, and I thought, you know, what is going on here? All these people want to do is live in
peace.
And here we are, we come and we‟ll set their huts on fire and, you know, it‟s just, you just don‟t
know, you know, you just, so many things are going through your mind, you don‟t understand it
all. And all you, all, at least most of us, we just cared about those people. And that really hit
home when I saw that young, young mother nursing her baby and I thought, I just, try to solve
this and get some peace.
Interviewer: Now would the kids come up to you when you went through villages, or
things like that, or did you just see them at a distance or…. 45:57
They‟d come up and they had Coke cans, and so they‟d sell you Coke and stuff. And, you know,
America, of course, we‟re all, compared to them, we‟re very, very rich… and they think, also
they think, I, actually I learned this going back „95, „96, that if you‟re heavy, or fat like me,
you‟re rich. So I was pretty much a millionaire on that trip back.
And again on the return trips, you just fell in love with those kids. Just, it‟s awesome.
Interviewer: Did you have much of a sense of, of why you were there in the first place?
Yeah, kind of alluding back to the training when I talked about brainwashing, and I don‟t really
mean that in such a negative term, but that‟s kind of what they almost had to do, is, “They‟re
your enemy,” they teach you, “that‟s your enemy,” and, but they also told you, you know, we‟re
going over there, you know, to fight to Communism, and that‟s what I believed, and that‟s, you
know, you got a thousand different viewpoints or, and, but I truly believe we were over there,
despite all the politics and, and the rhetoric that was going on, I really feel that we were doing
the right thing. 47:20 And I know that‟s not a real popular opinion, but I just kinda felt,
especially when I saw that young lady with that kid, I thought let‟s, let‟s do our best to keep the
communists from coming in here.
Interviewer: Now in the time when you were there, out in the field, did you feel like you
were accomplishing things or getting things done or spinning your wheels or…
Spinning -- spinning your wheels. I almost felt like -- we weren‟t there, you know, we weren‟t
there to take over territory or anything like that; we were just pretty much going out, search and
destroy. And pretty much the same thing all the time, it didn‟t seem like we, we did accomplish
a lot. 48:03 And, and I hate to talk in terms of numbers. But we lost between two and -- or
fifty-eight thousand men, and I don‟t know how many injured. And nobody knows, but it‟s
�between two or three million people they lost. And it just, it seems so futile, you know, and
that‟s one of the things that -- and going back to Vietnam in „95 and ‟96, it‟s one of the things
that was really on my mind, are they gonna hate us, and it was pretty much universal they‟d
forgiven us. I couldn‟t believe it.
Interviewer: All right. We’ll go back again into your company there. Out in the field.
Now after the incident there by the village where the mine had gone off behind you, and so
forth, was the next sort of serious fight you got into the one where you got hurt? 48:59
The next serious fight was when I got hurt and that was twelve days later, January 26, 1968.
Interviewer: Okay.
Between those nearly two week span there, not much really went on. It was pretty much just the
daily sniper fire and the firefights that you could hear off in the distance, but where were we at,
we mainly ran into booby traps and sniper fire, and occasionally like I say I was there for three
months, we probably only had a half dozen firefights that we were involved in.
Interviewer: Okay. Now did you ever actually see any of your enemy? Aside from the one
guy who was dead there.
That one, and actually, yes. Because a lot of our guys, and I hate to say, say this, would, after a
firefight, you know, we‟d, they‟d go on there and just kinda hang them from a tree, or they‟d cut
an ear off. I don‟t understand that. 50:16
Interviewer: So people that they’d killed in the fighting.
Mm-hmm.
Interviewer: Okay.
Yep, so after some of the firefights you‟d go on, you‟d see the dead soldiers laying there.
Interviewer: Okay, and you mentioned that you did once see a North Vietnamese uniform?
Yes. And it was, we‟re coming down in a village, and again the foliage, you know, was taller
than us on both sides, we‟re going down a narrow path and he had just crossed a path, and like
I‟m third or fourth in line, and the guy in front of me froze and, but I had no line of fire and, of
course, carrying a grenade launcher there‟s no way I‟d fire that anyway, cause I hit some of that
foliage and, you know, that could come back on us. 51:03
Interviewer: Right. All right, so it was just that, was just a fleeting moment there…
Yes
�Interviewer: …and nothing else. All right, take us through, if you can, that day when you
went out and your unit got hit and you got hit.
Well, now we were going out, I don‟t know if it was five days, six day, seven day patrol, so we
were, we had a lot of gear with us, though with the ammunition, extra clothing, and pretty much
uneventful until about mid-day, and all the sudden we heard a, an explosion and, and then we
started hearing some firing and then as we formed a perimeter we‟d hear these booby traps going
off. And then the firing, you know, started and all I remember is getting hit, you know, just
shrapnel that is still in there, and I‟ve never been hit with a hammer, but that‟s what I would
think it felt like, it just knocked me right back. 52:09 And I remember two of my friends
giving me first aid right there. I couldn‟t tell you how long it lasted. I don‟t have a lot of
memory of it other than I remember they sent five or six medevac choppers in and took us to a
field hospital, and I can just remember guys just screaming. It was just like a living hell. And
after giving me additional aid right there, they flew me to a hospital ship, The Sanctuary, it was
on the South China Sea. Fortunately, it was pretty close to where we were at, and they operated
on me that night, air force surgeon. And he told me right then, you know, you lost your eye and,
but I remember being in Japan, in a hospital there, I remember this guy‟d lost both his eyes, you
know, I‟m pretty fortunate. 53:08
Interviewer: All right. How long did you have to stay in hospitals?
After Japan, I stayed in Japan for five days, never got to see it because, of course, I lost my right
eye, and with the impact my left eye was pretty much swollen shut, and I could just, I could see
light but I couldn‟t really -- and I could see shadowy figures, but I couldn‟t, couldn‟t see any
countryside or anything. And after five days they sent me to Illinois, Great Lakes Naval Hospital
and I stayed there about two months. I have no idea why I was there two months because the
recovery didn‟t take that long. 53:55 But I remember going back home my first time home,
sitting in the living room, or I‟m sorry the kitch -- dining room, and I poured a Coke, totally
missed the glass. You know, by then I could start seeing a little bit…
Interviewer: Right.
… but the perception was way off, so, from now even to this day if I pour, usually I drink out of
a can but I hold the glass and I put it right close so….
Interviewer: Mm-hmm, yeah. What kind of readjustment process did you have? You
come back; did they discharge you after you’re out of the hospital or what happens then?
Oh, that‟s a good question. I, like I said, it was about two months that I stayed at the hospital,
just maybe ten, fifteen miles south of Great Lakes is, was Fort Sheridan, I think it‟s still there.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
Just the north side of Chicago, and I stayed there… three months maybe? 54:55 And it‟s, they
almost treated me like I was a new recruit, and one of the major jobs I had there was, of course,
you had in the military, you have a lot of people moving in and out, brass, I remember having to
�move the generals or the colonels and some of these places were three stories in all -- I couldn‟t
do that today, doing that -- but I remember doing a lot of that, and most of my, most days I didn‟t
really do anything. I was never put on KP or anything but, but those days that we had to move
the coming or outgoing military brass, those were hard days. But they didn‟t treat you like you
were returning vet for some reason. I don‟t know, I just didn‟t feel really appreciated back at
Fort Sheridan.
Interviewer: What else was going on at Fort Sheridan? Was that, were they using that for
training or was it just…. 55:57
No. Fort Sheridan, very small, you know, when I think of Fort Hood and how big that was, Fort
Sheridan is very small and I‟m not sure really what they do there, I think it‟s just maybe
advanced, more of an officers‟… type of base, I‟m not sure but I think that‟s what it was.
Interviewer: All right, and then did you get to go home and back and forth while you were
stationed there or….
I went home virtually every weekend. It‟s interesting, while we‟re down there at Fort Hood
before I went to „Nam, a lot of, a lot of us were car guys and we all talked about what kind of car
we‟re gonna buy when we get out, and I bought a „68 Ford Torino, and I just loved that car. And
I raced it, I went down to Martin and I raced quite a bit down there, and souped the engine up a
little bit, and, but I‟d take the car home every weekend, pretty much while I was at Fort Sheridan
and that was, like I say, three months or somewhere in there, I‟m not sure, and course I was
madly in love. 57:05 Still am. And I, I‟d, late Sunday night I‟d take off for Chicago to get
back to base, and I remember one time I was so tired I pulled off the side of the expressway
there, somewhere around Gary, or Whiting… and dozed off, and next thing I know, there‟s a
state cop, you know, “What‟s going on?” He said, “There‟s a rest area not too far away, you
know, make it up there and then just get off this highway.” But yeah, I, you know, I always
played it to the last minute because I wanted to spend as much time as I could with Connie.
Interviewer: All right, and then did they discharge you after that, at the end of that stint at
Fort Sheridan, or put you on some other kind of leave, or give you an assignment?
No, no other assignments. Yeah, in July. I got hit in January 26, „68, and then July 17th was the
date they discharged me. 58:04
Interviewer: All right, and then having done that, what did you do next? Did you get back
home?
Yeah, I went back home, lived with my parents for a while, and my ultimate goal was get back to
the junior college, and again I really didn‟t know exactly what I wanted to do so I got a job, and
warehouse work, general warehouse work, and I applied there and interviewed with the owner of
the company, a fantastic man, he hired me on the spot, and 41 years later I was still there. And
never did go back to college. But I really enjoyed what I did, they really took good care of me
and did a lot of different things for that company, including driving truck, which was pretty
much my first love...Not driving trucks so much but driving. 59:00
�Interviewer: And how long after you got back home did you get married?
I got married May 8th, 1971, so about three years later.
Interviewer: Okay. Took a little while. Now after you got home did you pay much
attention to, sort of, the news about the Vietnam War or the war, anti-war movement, or
any of that kind of stuff? Did you pay attention to that?
It was hard not to cause it was, you know, all over the news and everything, but I tried to put as
much behind me as I could. And I think it was, wow, I couldn‟t tell exactly how many years it
was, but it was, I know, well over ten years before I had contact with anybody that I‟d served
with, and again that‟s my buddy from Dubuque, Iowa, called me up, you know, he‟d had five
kids by this time and he said, “We gotta get together.” 59:56 That next weekend, he was in
Grand Rapids and that, that really helped. And another thing that helped, I was bowling in a
bowling league and I came home one night, 9:30 or something like that, my wife is down in the
basement watching TV, and I got into this program that she was watch-- I didn‟t know what it
was, she didn‟t tell me -- it was in a town in Pennsylvania and I got really into the, the characters
and all the sudden, they were going to Vietnam, it was The Deer Hunter.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
And that was the first time, I mean, that many years, later that I was really kind of able to, to face
it. And, but 1995 when I went back that was what, what really, really helped me. And put a lot
of the flashbacks that I‟d had, pretty much put those to rest. 1:00:58
Interviewer: So when you got home, so you did sort of have flashbacks or things like that, I
mean?
Yeah, you would wake up in the middle of the night and you were there, I mean. For the first
several years, and I don‟t know, I couldn‟t tell you the frequency, three, four times a month at
least, and you were there. You were in battle. And all of a sudden I‟d wake up and Connie just,
“What‟s wrong, what‟s wrong?” Just sweating. You‟re literally just dripping with sweat. As
the years went by, they were more the fact that I was still here stateside but being called back,
you know, were the first ones where I was there still in battle, and that kind of evolved, it seems
strange, but those were really scary, you know, being called back and having to go back again.
1:01:58
Interviewer: Mm-hmm. Now, tell me how you wound up going over to Vietnam in the
‘90s?
I, actually, this is -- I had been praying for some way to get back over there. And all the sudden,
you know, after probably, just weeks after I had this desire to go back, I got a call from a guy
who was in another platoon over there, but, you know, we got to know each other real well, Cal
Backrain. He had a chance to go back to Vietnam and he didn‟t want to, and the guy who was in
charge of this, Dave DeVries said, “Do you know anybody that would like to go? Cause we
�have another slot.” He says, you know, “Call Paul Ceton.” So Dave DeVries called me, and that
was, we went over in conjunction with International Aid. And, wow, it‟s one of the best things I
ever did. 1:03:02
Interviewer: What were you going to be doing there?
Was actually kind of a work trip, a mission trip. We‟re pretty much a Christian-based group
going over there. There were twelve of us. We had a guide, Michael Vu, who was in Howell
Mission at the time. He‟s a Vietnam -- was born in Vietnam, and he pretty much set up the
itinerary, where we‟re going to stay and everything like that but -- and pretty much, most of us
on that trip, the twelve guys we didn‟t know each other, we were, you know, we weren‟t in the
same units when we fought in Vietnam, but one of the, the biggest projects we had was painting
an orphanage. In a little town called Hoi An. Years and years ago it was the capitol of Vietnam,
and at that orphanage each one of, each one of us had like five or six kids that would help us
paint. 1:04:07 We‟d be slapping it on, probably got more paint on the ground than we did on
the building, but… And of course Vietnam‟s one of the poorest counties in, in the world, and,
you know, after we got done, this was the best looking building in that town. But, you know, we
just really bonded with these kids, and at night we played ping pong or badminton with the kids,
they were good. And next morning we had breakfast and, little more ping pong, and things like
that and tidied up the place a little bit. We had actually wound up getting them a new stove in
there. Everything they had was pretty crude. But about noon that next day, the twelve of us, you
know, got on that bus, and there wasn‟t a dry eye. 1:04:57 I mean, not just us, those kids, the
staff. That much love in a day and a half. We didn‟t speak their language, they didn‟t speak
ours, but it was just an incredible thing, and I knew right then I did the right thing in going back.
Interviewer: Now what else did you see and do while you were over there?
We actually started out in Hanoi, we flew into Hanoi and it was pretty scary for most of us cause
most of us hadn‟t been back. Dave DeVries had been there before, but -- or back again, and
you‟d see these big 23s, you know, that are fighter jets on the tarmac there…
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
… and we, we went through customs, and man, they were really, you know, you didn‟t if they‟d
let you in or not. Finally did. And I remember taking the bus trip from the airport there at Hanoi
and maybe a half an hour, forty minute ride in to our hotel in, in Hanoi, and when I was in the
war, I never went in the big cities or anything, it was just small little villages, hamlets, but the
poverty I saw, I‟ve never seen anything like that in my life. 1:06:18 Incredible poverty and,
and I thought, I don‟t think I should be here. I -- and we got into that hotel and they paired us up,
two guys to a room and I was with John Hendricks, who I never knew but now we‟re great
friends. And when I went up in, into that room to get dressed for dinner, and cleaned up, I said,
“Lord, I think I made a mistake.” I just didn‟t feel good about being there. Then we came down
half an hour later or so, and met and one of the guys prayed before we went, we walked to this
restaurant, was a very, very old restaurant and on the way there, the people in Hanoi would just
smile and, and, “Hi,” they didn‟t really know our language, but they knew “Hi,” or… 1:07:08
�Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
… and you started feeling a little bit better. And they just treated you like royalty when we had
that meal. And I really don‟t like that Vietnamese food but I ate it. And, you know, after we, we
ate, we kind of split up and maybe half of us, you know, like six, six of us went to this, we
walked through Hanoi and we walked into this little café, and we were drinking Cokes and
eating potato chips and they were playing „60s American music there and then when we walked
back, and it‟s kind of late now, it‟s close to midnight, we‟re walking back to our hotel and,
probably twenty, twenty-five minute walk, and I felt safer there than I, I, I would‟ve in
downtown Grand Rapids that time of night. And when I got my, to hotel and I prayed, “Thank
you, Lord, maybe, can we make this a long two weeks?” 1:08:00
Interviewer: All right, and so then from Hanoi, what else did you?
Hanoi, we, we took an airplane down to Da Nang, we, we took a bus, you know, on part of the
trip further south. I just remember going through some of the most beautiful places I„ve ever
seen, little town call Lang Co, and then Hai Vam Pass, I believe they call it, which goes maybe
three thousand feet up right off the South China Sea, it was just incredible, and the whole way,
you know, whenever we get off that bus and stop somewhere, the Vietnamese were just so
friendly to us. And again I go back to the kids and the kids always had something to sell, candy,
Coke, something like that. 1:08:57 But, and, again the rich Americans and, and, but, man, I
just, I just keep going back to it, but just to love those kids was pretty special to me. And pretty
much I remember one time having, we had, we were guests of a veterans‟ group like our
American legion, VFW, something like that…
Interviewer: Right.
We were guests of one of those units, and I was talking to this guy, a Vietnamese, he was a
North Vietnamese soldier back then, and he was a colonel and we got -- and he could speak
English -- and we got to talking, you know, when were you there, where were you, and all that,
and found out that he was pretty much in the same area I was in, and at pretty much the same
time I was in, and it could be we were in battle with each other. 1:09:59 I have no idea, but
now it was a time of peace and it was just really special moment. And again I always wondered
how they, the Vietnamese would react with us coming back, particularly like in Hanoi where we
pretty much destroyed that town, and, but they somehow have a real respect for Americans, and
they somehow feel second-class, you know, cause we‟re so rich, and we‟re so powerful, and they
really have nothing. I can remember these two young college girls, and said, one of them said,
“What do you think of us? Do you care for us?” And I said “I love you.” And that just meant
so much to her. And so going back you just see so much more than what you read and, and the
perceptions that people have, that, that, that just so many kind of misconceptions of what, what,
what they‟re actually like over there… but so forgiving, and we just, they just, made us feel just
so much at home. We actually wound up in Saigon -- Ho Chi Minh City… 1:11:13
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
�… which they call it, still Saigon to us. Whole lot different down there, while as Hanoi is the
old, rich traditional and a lot of French influence up there, Hanoi is a lot more westernized or a
lot more -Interviewer: Ho Chi Minh City, or….
Ho Chi Minh City, yeah, sorry, and prostitutes would come up on their motorbikes and
proposition you. It was just so different and I can remember, we just had lunch somewhere and
in a nice hotel and we‟re going back to our hotel which wasn‟t as nice. And a group of kids
came around and this one kid was driving a bicycle and he drove that wheel right into my calf.
1:11:58 It‟s kind of strange. And I carried my wallet in my front pocket, you know, cause
pretty much tell if someone takes it there. All the sudden when I, when that bicycle tire hit me,
something‟s not right here and I reached for my wallet and it was gone. And I grabbed the kid
on that bike, he was, I dunno, a teenager, and, and there‟s quite a crowd around there and I, I said
I‟m not letting go till I get my wallet back, and then all a sudden, you know, after three or four
people tossed it or handed it they handed it to me, I let that kid go. But that‟s something you
wouldn‟t, you wouldn‟t expect up in Hanoi or some of the northern cities but Saigon, like I said,
is just so modern, a lot of traffic. A lot of cars. Where basically up in Hanoi you basically have
a lot of bicycles and not a lot of cars. 1:13:02
Interviewer: Now, did you make two trips to Vietnam? ‘95 and 6?
Yeah I went back in „96.
Interviewer: And…
Again, we, we didn‟t have any real work projects, I think, but we just kinda wanted do was just
interact with the people. I, I can remember, you know, that „95 we, we brought Bibles over, you
know, we‟re told, encouraged, to bring them over. In fact, somehow we got some Vietnamese
language Bibles for the kids in that orphanage, but then when we went back a year later, we were
told not to bring them back because there were, I believe, six pastors had just got arrested for
passing out Bibles over there. And it kinda depended where you‟re at. Vietnam is several
provinces and pretty much each province is, is a little bit different, and, but where we were going
they said you‟d better not better not bring any Bibles. 1:14:05 Well, I didn‟t, but some of the
guys did. And it‟s amazing how word gets out that you have them. And a lot of the protestant
churches over there are underground and I can remember this old Vietnamese woman, she had
made like a two or three hour journey on foot to get one Bible for that whole group that she -- I
don‟t know how many people it was, but of course I got five or six at my house and they have
one for an entire group.
Interviewer: Now, did you, on either of these trips, did you have any problems with the
Vietnamese authorities?
Yes. I‟m glad you asked that. On the second trip, we went down, there were six of us that got
on this little minivan with two Vietnamese guides. 1:15:05 And we made like a two hour trip
�and the reason there were [unintelligible] we were going down to an area that we were all pretty
much close to when we fought.
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
And the first village we went to, I remember Pastor Pat White, he‟s a pastor from Allegan,
Michigan, great guy, he was pretty much assigned to that area. And he was, oh what was he, he
was, not a doctor but…
Interviewer: Just a medic, or….
A medic. Ha, thank you. And in that, the period of time he was there, I don‟t know how long it
was, he was in this village, he delivered nine babies, or helped deliver nine babies. 1:15:56 But
when he was there he had a guide, and I believe he was nine years old at the time. And you
know he could speak Vietnamese and most people back then over there -- or he could speak
English, most of them couldn‟t. And after all these years, when we went back there, he wanted
to see him. And so he had a picture of him, of course this what, from close to thirty years later.
Interviewer: Right.
He had a picture of him, and went to hut, to hut, to hut: “Do you know him? Do you know
him?” Nobody did. Finally, we went to this very old lady and she says, “I know him. I know
him.” And she summoned someone to go and get him. Well, by the time he came back out, a
large crowd had gathered, and they saw each other, and he knew Pat right away, and they just
hugged, and right then, we got arrested. 1:16:54 And I was a little bit concerned cause we had a
couple Bibles in this van and I thought maybe that was it, but it wasn‟t. It was just kind of a
young police officer over there, probably trying to make a name for himself, he took all six of us
plus the two Vietnamese guys, and they put us in this kind of police station, then they took us to
another area and they took everything we had, you know, our passports, our wallets, pretty much
everything we had. And it was pretty scary. So they arrested us, and you know, we just prayed,
as a group. And after about three hours they finally let us go. And of course we went right back,
the two hour journey. And again, two hours, you know, on the roads over there, it‟s, it‟s pretty
rough travels…
Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
… so you don‟t make near as many miles in two hours as you would over here, but, but the bad,
the sad thing was Pastor White wasn‟t able to see his friend. 1:18:00
Interviewer: Yeah.
Well, that was a Saturday. Sunday morning we‟re out on a patio there at the hotel eating
breakfast, and Pastor White prayed before that breakfast he said, “Lord, I‟d like to see him, and
his wife, somehow, before we go to Vietnam.” We lifted our eyes from prayer and they were
walking up that path. Unbelievable. We didn‟t know how, you know, they could afford it, you
know, to, to make that journey, how they got there, but they were there.
�Interviewer: Mm-hmm.
It was just unbelievable.
Interviewer: All right. Now, to think back a bit to the time, particularly the time you spent
in Vietnam, or in the army or more generally, are there other things that kind of stand out
in memory or kind of come back to you that you haven’t brought into the story here today?
1:18:54
Well. I think first of all, the thing that really got to me was the friendships that we made. And to
see, you know, grew up in sheltered West Michigan, and to see people from different parts of the
country, how they live, what their values were, I can say I‟m so glad I was brought up here. But
I made friends from virtually all over the country and, and they‟re still just great friends of mine.
So it was really the, the relationships, and I remember before I got drafted, and I knew I was
vulnerable, I wasn‟t doing really that well at junior college, and, and I was dating Connie at the
time, and I just prayed. I just prayed for months, I said, “Lord, I don‟t want to get drafted.
Please don‟t let me get drafted. Cause I want to live the all American life, I want to marry
Connie.” 1:20:06
Interviewer: Mm-hmm
After, I don‟t know, two, three months, I don‟t know how long it was, I got that letter. You
know, report the October 11th. I thought, “Lord you weren‟t listening, you didn‟t hear me.” And
it, just twenty-six years later we were at a reunion at Nashville, Tennessee, I‟ll never forget it.
Sergeant Cecil Hall from Mississippi, he came into a room with all of us gathered, I think there
were nineteen of us veterans, plus wives and some had their kids there. And he said, “I‟d like to
pray.” I thought, “Cecil? Pray?” And I don‟t remember exactly what he said, you know, prayed
for those families of those that we lost, and all the sudden you just felt the Holy Spirit move
through that room. 1:21:02 And that was a Saturday night. Sunday morning, you know, when
we‟re all gonna go back to our homes, nobody wanted to leave. There was just such a bond
there, just, just so incredible. When I finally got to my office, at work Monday morning, all a
sudden it dawned on me. It was his will and not mine. And I‟m just so grateful, even though I
lost a eye, I lost friends, went through some really traumatic and very hard times, for some
reason, there was a reason. And I‟m so glad that I got that call to serve. And now it was, it‟s an
honor to have served this country. And if it wasn‟t for being drafted I probably, you know,
wouldn‟t have served and I‟m just so thankful for that, and I‟m just so thankful for all the guys
that we have, the men and women who want to serve this great country. 1:22:08
Interviewer: And you’ve already mostly kind of answered one of the usual closing
questions for interview like this. How do you think the experience affected you? I mean
ultimately did you wind up growing or becoming a different or better person, do you
think? Because you experienced all that?
Yeah. I, I really do. I think it, it made me stronger as a person. Made me appreciate what our
forefathers went through you know, not, not only just the ones who fought, you know, to make
�this country free, I think of the pioneers, the people who went from the east coast to the west
coast, the Donner party, you know, how so many people died. 1:22:56 And here we get in the
car and we can be to Detroit in two hours or, you know, I can drive to Florida in twenty-some
hours, and it, it just, you know, I just think back, the, the roots of this country, and, and I think of
the people who fought, I think of the people who wrote our constitution, and we have a lot of
problems, we have a lot of flaws, but this is the best place to be in the whole world.
Interviewer: All right, well I think that makes a pretty good conclusion, so thanks for
coming in and talking to me today.
Thank you so much.
Interviewer: All right.

Slides developed during World War II as a training tool, for top-side battle-station personnel on board ship and for all aircraft personnel, by the US Navy. In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill.

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. The Digital Collection contains the scanned covers of 140 titles held by Grand Valley State University Libraries.
