Greg Miller served in Vietnam in 1969, and remembers it as six months that has affected his entire life.

“I was stationed in Lay Binh in south Vietnam,” the Black Mountain resident said. “I was in the Army Signal Corp. I helped coordinate communications from the bottom half of Vietnam to 28 different sites every day. Then I would trouble shoot, figuring out what they needed and making sure they got it.”

Miller describes the area as one not under fire a lot of the time.

“On a stress level of one -10, it would rank about a four or five,” he said. “We were stationed across from a Medi-Vac hospital and there were lots of wounded soldiers coming in.”

Miller had been a divinity student in the States, but had grown tired of college and decided to volunteer for the Army.
