When Lawrence Doll returned to the U.S. from Vietnam in 1969 he never forgot the help he received during his transition into civilian life.

“There was a silent majority that wanted to work with veterans and most of them were former veterans and it was something I’ll never forget,” said Doll, who was drafted into the Marines and served as a Scout Sniper.

Doll was wounded during his second tour in combat and spent four months in the U.S. Naval Hospital in Guam before coming to the United States.

Doll’s duty in Vietnam earned him two Purple Hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and a prestigious appointment to the United States Marine Corps Honor Guard in Washington, D.C.
