SPEECH FOR HERNANDEZ SILVER STAR AWARD CEREMONY

Then I was assigned to go into a specialty so I was sent to the artillery school in Fort Sill, Oklahoma for another 3 or 4 months. From there I went to the Fleet Marine Force in the Pacific, which translates to service in the 3rd Marine division in Okinawa and the 1st Marine division in Vietnam. I arrived in Vietnam in 1970 and served a full tour. ................
