Introduction
My name is Kenn Miller and in 1967, 68, and 69, I was in the Republic of Vietnam in the United States Army. I was initially basically an infantryman in the 101st Airborne Division Paratrooper and then went to Long Range Patrol, volunteered for that and got accepted.
And that was a special operation sort of thing, we would basically have six-man teams and we would be dropped in the enemy territory, trying to find what was there. Sometimes intelligence would come and say, “Okay there’s a communication site/radio site of the enemy in this place”, and we would go in and try to find it. “Go in there and tell us what you see.”
