Ross, served during the Vietnam War. During my interview with him, I learned that 1. he was stationed at Long Beach. 2. it was overly populated by snakes. 3. Ross is deathly scared of said snakes. He was an active member of the 483 Field Service, 266 S&S BAT. and the 1st Log Division. He earned an Expert Marksman award and a Vietnam Service award for his time there. After the war, he returned to Downs, KS where he currently lives with his wife and where he farms.
