Perhaps the most controversial General to manage the Vietnam War. General William Westmoreland was a United States Army General who served as the Commander of American military operations from 1964 to 1968. He was known for his leadership during the conflict, and for his controversial decisions and statements. After retiring from the military, he continued to be involved in public life and passed away in 2005.

The contact sheet below is my wife's cousin Raymond who dropped out of college and was immediately scooped up and sent to Vietnam where he was wounded, recovered in Australia and sent back to Vietnam where he was wounded again.  Upon returning, he didn't speak of it the experience and formed a very successful company.  He passed a couple of years ago and a family member sent these images of him taken in Vietnam.  

Raymond SpiesI've. been sorting out computers and this contact sheet of images appeared. My wife's cousin Raymond dropped out of Villanova and was immediately drafted, sent to Vietnam and was wounded.
