PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

MY FATHER PATRICK CHESTER MOLITOR SERVED WITH THE 199TH LIGHT BRIDGADE IN NAM. HE SERVED ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS THERE FROM AUGUST TO DECEMBER OF 1969. BY THE TIME I WAS BORN MY DAD HAD BEEN OUT OF NAM FOR SEVEN YEARS. THE WAY I FEEL IS THAT ANYONE THAT PUTS THEIR LIFE IN DANGER FOR THEIR COUNTRY IS AN AMERICAN HERO IN MY HEART. I GREW UP BELIEVING IF YOUR COUNTRY CALLED YOU, SERVE YOUR COUNTRY IN HONOR. MY FATHER TALKS VERY LITTLE ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE OF THE VIETNAM WAR. EVEN THOUGH A VET DON'T TALK ABOUT ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL BY THE LOOK IN THEIR EYES THAT THEY ARE BURNING UP INSIDE WITH RAGE ON WHAT THEY HAD SEEN OVER THERE. IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW'S MY FATHER PLEASE CONTACT ME I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I WANT TO MEET THE FELLOW SOLDIER'S WHO SERVED WITH MY FATHER. I KNOW ONE OF THE GUYS WHO SERVED WITH HIM WAS DAVID LEE TEICH (RECON) IN WAS FROM PINE CITY MINNESOTA.
