He&#8217;d been a Green Beret during Vietnam, and had been a prisoner of war. Now, to help pay bills, he takes seasonal work at H&#038;R Block. Hawking ice cream, he pulls in $75 for about three hours on a good night, which is enough to cover his inventory. But whatever. Sallada says he&#8217;s more interested in meeting people, anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Man,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The jungles of Vietnam have got nothing on that truck.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, other than the fact that no one is shooting a you in the truck, there, Terry.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, Terry isn&#8217;t telling wild-ass stories that were printed, but he&#8217;s not a former POW of the Vietnam era according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dtic.mil\/dpmo\/vietnam\/reports\/documents\/pmsea_html_s.htm\">Department of Defense&#8217;s Defense Prisoner of War\/Missing Personnel Office<\/a>.
