Today, JJ’s Star Spangled Salute honors El Dorado, Kansas native and Army Veteran David McCoy. After graduation high school in 1958, David went to work as a mechanic. 5 years passed and then he was drafted into the Army – it would have been sooner but his draft papers had been lost. His 2 years in the army took him from Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to Fort Gordon in Georgia and then on to Fort Benning. Just weeks before being shipped off to Vietnam like so many of his friends, David received his papers to head home, where he picked right back up at his old Mechanic job. He’s lived in El Dorado ever since. Thank you for making us Kansas proud David and THANK YOU for your service.
