Charles Hayes Hayes '55 Yes Yes Army 1955-1964 Captain Father of Matt Hayes '87, West Point graduate. Indeed, I did serve in the military. Upon graduating from<br />

Artillery Basic Officers Course at Ft. Sill, OK and Fort Bliss, TX , Ranger <strong>School</strong> and Airborne <strong>School</strong> at Fort<br />

Benning, GA, and the Army Fixed Wing Flight <strong>School</strong> at Fort Rucker, AL. After this schooling, I was assigned<br />

the East German border during the era of the Berlin wall crisis, Jack Kennedy's "Ich bien ein Berliner" visit,<br />

Al Veerhoff Veerhoff '56 Yes Yes Army 1960 - 1962 Infantry After training at Fort Riley Kansas for a <strong>year</strong>, I was sent to Camp Kaiser in Korea, 7th Division, just below the<br />

DMZ, where I was an infantryman, an MP and finally a supply clerk. I left as a Pfc because there were too few<br />

openings for me to be promoted to E-4, I left the Army in June 1962. Interesting enough, some of those about<br />

to leave decided to take an extra <strong>year</strong> of service in that combat laboratory in Vietnam. Had they left after that<br />

<strong>year</strong>, they would not have seen combat because the MAC advisers were still working with Vietnamese troops<br />

and not conducting separate operations. I was in an infantry unit, in Korea, north of the 38th parallel and<br />

south of the DMZ, 1961-62. I carried a rifle, and I got a Good Conduct Medal.<br />
