Terry graduated from the Wellsville High School in 1965, and he went on to obtain a two year degree from Alfred State College in 1967. In the Fall of 1967 the United States military drafted228,263 men, including Terry, as part of the Vietnam War draft. It was on January 5th, 1968 that Terry reported to Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin his basic training. He then continued his training at Fort Polk and Fort Knox. Finally, in June of 1968 Terry began his tour of duty in Vietnam at the Bien Hoa Air Base. Terry served the Army in two different roles while in Vietnam. During the day he served in the Finance Division, and at night his Division was assigned guard duty to protect the air base on a rotating basis. The 216 letters contained within this book were written primarily for our parents. I am sure that Terry was very careful with what he shared with our parents in these letters, so that he wouldn’t make them worry too much. I never realized that our mom had saved these letters in a shoe box. Terry passed away on October 26, 2022. In January of 2023 I began working on a memory book for Terry. Terry’s daughter Stephanie had contacted me because she had come across a shoebox in her mom’s basement that contained the letters that Terry had written to his mom and dad during the Vietnam War. I had asked Stephanie if she would share them with me, so I could scan each page of the 216 letters that were written over 53 years ago!
