George's story
My dad never really talked about his time in Vietnam. It was just something he didn't like to talk about so we didn't talk about it. He drove truck in Vietnam. He transported Agent Orange.
When he came home he worked in the steel mill and then he became a truck driver for 40+ years. He retired in the mid 2010s and still worked a little bit. Did a little bit of security on the side just because he didn't like to be home all day. He was very fit, never sick. He jogged. He worked out every day for as long as I can remember.
He passed away on Friday, December 12, the day before my mom's birthday. I miss him every day.
