Veteran's Day - with Rick Kopec

[camp upshur]

Stuck on the rock (Okinawa) in the USMC, wanted to go to SAAC-9 Anaheim so bad. Only FPO mail, no phones, computers, no nothing. Totally AFU. Kopec (who I had never met) somehow got wind, totally set me up. Even got me the #2 spot on the '65 line next to Don Day in 003. I thought 'Wow'.
He never even mentioned that he was a vet!
Wasn't until years later I learned of his tremendous combat record.
