The Experiences of a Vietnam Veteran
Vietnam Veteran, Rick Lambert, who served as an infantry Sergeant during the Vietnam War, provided an excellent presentation on his experiences serving in a challenging environment at a fire based in South Vietnam. Following his informative presentation, Rick is thanked by President John Frederick, himself a retired United States Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer.
All the Comforts of Home... not!
A young Sergeant Rick Lambert posed outside of his sleeping "quarters" while stationed at a fire base in South Vietnam near the Cambodian border. Living conditions were hot and humid (temps around 100 degrees), and jungle rot and foot problems were the norm. On top of that, the Viet Cong shot at you, too!
Russ Robertson Reflects
Russ Robertson, who only recently shared his experiences as a surgeon in Vietnam with the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club, stoically reflects on Rick Lambert's presentation.
