Presentation transcript:

Chris Laney, Sarah Knowels, Visit: ’Due: ’ Vietnam Veteran

As an aspiring “lifer” in 1962, Mr. Overcash was hopeful of a spectacular military career. In 1962, he graduated from Wake Forest and would later volunteer to go through training and scuba school. Later on, he went through 3 tours in Vietnam and was involved as a ranger instructor, Special Forces, was in a 7 man Recon. Team/A-Team, and was in MAC/SOG from ’ before he resigned to be with his wife in 1969.

Mr. Overcash described Vietnam as a beautiful place to be in, although it was very dangerous there. Luckily, he was away from an overran resupply duct/LZ one day and wasn’t captured by the enemy. As the first American officer to invade, he is very fortunate to be alive, especially since he stepped into a “punji” trap under the ground that was filled with spikes that were dipped in feces that could’ve cause an infection to spread throughout his body and kill him, let alone pierce through his heart.

Being able to serve in multiple places must have been remarkable experiences, but unlike his assistant that came along with him on his visit he had to find his way through the country with a compass, map, and their own knowledge of the geography and such. Base Camduck was once overrun while he and his fellow troops were there, so they had to defeat the enemy.

Mr. Overcash and many other soldiers had to fight for their lives at all times and be alert in order to survive. How they all did this, we do not know, but it’s a blessing that he’s still alive today. It was important to stay near the coastlines, for the fish would dry up quickly if camped out elsewhere.

A Life Changing Opportunity It was such an honor to do this project, let alone be able to meet Mr. Overcash and his assistant, Mr. Brown, who also gave us some insight on what life in the military is like. Forever, this memory of our pasts will be remembered. It’s a blessing to be able to do this. Mr. Overcash has inspired the two of us to strive towards our goals in life and to not give up due to simple circumstances that might be against us while our lives unfold, simply due to the fact that non of these upcoming circum-stances will most likely not be as dangerous, nor life-threatening as Mr. Overcash’s choices were during his time of service. ~Chris Laney ~Sarah Knowels ~Sarah Knowels
