Bill was a Vietnam War veteran.  Its unclear from the DD 2014 the number of years, but I'm calling it 6 years between two separate enlistments and Reserve commitments.  He served as a Armory Specialist then later retrained into the Air Traffic Control Specialty.  Bill was awarded the NATIONAL DEFENSE SERVICE MEDAL, ARMY COMMENDATION MEDAL, VIETNAM SERVICE MEDAL, CROSS OF GALLANTRY, and VIETNAM CAMPAIGN MEDAL.
