Drafted into the US Army

It was a Friday the 13th in 1964 on a cold November day when I was drafted into the US Army and my life was changed forever. I met a young man from Chicago (Joe Grbin) who became my best friend for our 2 years together in the Army.  Unfortunately we lost him to suicide (PTSD) in 1990.
He was a hero in Vietnam and saved many lives at a hot LZ in 1966 and received a silver star with V for valor. Will never forget him, RIP Joe.
