Preserving The Oral HistorIES of Combat Veterans

COMBAT STORIES FROM Vietnam

Tom Buchan | 3rd Battalion, 4th Cavalry Regiment - Army

5:25   |   After his reserve unit had been dissolved, Tom Buchan was working in his auto mechanic shop when he got a letter from Uncle Sam. He went to Fort Carson to a mechanized infantry unit. "I'm a tanker," he told them, but he was put to work as a radioman and then as a driver. He might have finished out his obligation stateside but he got into a ruckus in a bar. The CO didn't like that.
