Reflections on this veteran's military service

Danny Bachtelle

Served in VietNam, my unit was 5th Recon, assigned to 3rd Marine Division at Gia Lin on DMZ. Went through the Tet Offensive. Returned home to a totally different world than what I had left.

Raised in Lakewood, grew up at Del Valle Park.
