More detail on this person: Larry joined the army in 1963. He finished infantry Officer's Candidate School on August 28, 1970...Class 19-70. Then he went to helicopter flight school followed by at least one tour in Vietnam flying helicopters. I believe his career was flying helicopters. He was highly thought of everywhere he went.
