  • 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.
