This year the calendar worked nicely for the first Salute to Veterans special section. In October, The Eunice News began asking on its pages for photos and information about area veterans to include in a special section honoring veterans. The response has been encouraging and The Eunice News will plan to do this in the future. Already, something special is possible for Memo- rial Day. VFW Post 8971 Post Commander Don Reber assisted with gathering content for today’s edi- tion and is helping with gathering background on those from Eunice who died in service to the country for a Memorial Day edition. Reader response made this section possible. We thank the individuals and families who shared photos and information. There are more than 60 veterans featured in today’s section. They served from World War II to now. They are among the 19.2 million veterans in the United States, according to the U.S. Census. According to the Department of Veterans Af- fairs, there are 2.2 million men and woman on active military service as of 2018. The VA counts 656,000 who died in battle and 552,000 who died while in service, but not in battle. This section is for all who served. Honoring All Who Served This Veterans Day, we honor the men and women of the U.S. Military. Their courage, hard work and sacrifice are the backbone of our nation, protecting freedom, liberty, justice and all we hold dear.

Members of the Armed Forces of the United States in Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia, or the airspace there over, during eligible periods and serving in direct support of operations in Vietnam.

The medal is issued to recognize military service during the Vietnam War and is authorized to service members in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, provided they meet the qualification criteria in United States Department of Defense regulation DoD 1348. The Vietnam Service Medal is presented to any service member who served on temporary duty for more than thirty consecutive days, or 60 non-consecutive days, attached to or regularly serving for one, or more, days with an organization participating in or directly supporting ground (military) operations or attached to or regularly serving for one, or more, days aboard a naval vessel directly supporting military operations in the Republic of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos within the defined combat zone (DoD 1348 C6.6.1.1.5. revised September 1996) between the dates of 1961-11-15 and 1973-03-28, and from 29 April, 1975 to 30 April, 1975.

  • Three War Soldier Shortly After Finishing High School, Eighteen-Year
    Three War Soldier Shortly after finishing high school, eighteen-year-old Guy Hector McCarey, Jr. of Walhalla enlisted in the United States Army. It was June 1943 and the world was engulfed in war from the broad expanses of the Pacific to the hot, dry fields of Sicily. McCarey, who had attended high schools in Charlotte, Walhalla and Florida, enlisted at Camp Blanding, near Jacksonville, FL and served in the European Theatre during World War II. After the war, he attended Clemson College as a veteran, serving as an ROTC cadet second lieutenant and graduating in January, 1950 with a degree in English. McCarey returned to the Army as an officer and was soon in the midst of another war, this time in Korea. Following his assignment there, he returned for a tour of duty in Germany. In 1964, McCarey was serving a peacetime tour of duty as the executive officer of the 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry in Korea. His driver at the time was Richard Bradley. Forty-five years later, Bradley would describe McCarey as “quite a soldier…a refined gentleman…[who] was also an accomplished pianist.” Bradley remembered that after the Tonkin Bay incident in August 1964, during which North Vietnamese torpedo boats allegedly attacked the destroyer USS Maddox, “Major McCarey told me he was going to volunteer to go to Vietnam.” The Tonkin Gulf incident would lead to a massive escalation of US involvement in Vietnam, beginning with greater assistance to the South Vietnamese forces already in the field fighting North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. McCarey’s transfer was approved and in 1965 he was assigned to Advisory Team 70, working as senior advisor to the 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment of the Army of Vietnam’s (ARVN) 5th Infantry Division.

  • Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen Enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a Two-Year
    Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a two-year tour. Upon completion of basic training at Parris Island and infantry training regiment at Camp Geiger, Frederick joined Charlie Co. 13th Engineer Battalion, 5th Marine Division and then transferred to 1st Marine Division where he served as a combat engineer. Frederick began serving in Vietnam in 1969. His first detail was in An Hoa sweeping the road with a metal detector for mines and booby traps, every day for 30 days. As a demolition expert, his first attachment was with the 5th Marines. With the 5th Marines, Frederick was part of the operation in “Dodge City,” so called by troops because of its “shoot-em-up” characteristics. The area 10 miles south of Da Nang was familiar ground for the Marines. It was about five miles wide and three miles long. Frederick said “Dodge City” and “The Arizona Territory” were dreadful places during his tour in Vietnam, the former rife with booby traps and the latter rife with aggressive enemy forces. Frederick spent his last three months of deployment in Da Nang, where he taught demolition school. He instructed incoming Marines on identifying different booby traps, punji pits, and unexploded ordnances, and taught the proper use of C-4 explosives to help mitigate and eliminate the threat to our troops.
