Star Spangled Salute: Wood Working Is Working of A Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient

 

 

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient John Barbazon.  In 1966 John’s family received 2 telegrams. One saying he had been killed in action and a second saying he was improving.  Thankfully, the 2nd telegram was the right one.  Although, he was in a body bag, and when they dropped him, he started swearing in Cajun, which you can imagine startled those around him.  That was then, now John,  after much therapy and talking about the things that haunt him from his time in Vietnam, is keeping busy with a woodworking hobby.  A hobby, he was encouraged to find and now he shares the same message with other Veterans.  Thank you John for helping others with your story and THANK YOU for your service.
