A couple of our ninjas were interested in this fellow, Michael Duane Killam, apparently, because I’ve been getting info on him from a couple of folks since last week. He came to everyone’s attention when he was in the local Dallas\/Fort Worth<\/a> news last month around Veterans’ Day and he was recognized by Congressman Marc Veasey for his service in Vietnam. <\/p>\n

$\"Michael$ <\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

He claimed that he was a POW (the period of capture changes from time to time from three days to four months, depending on how Killam feels) and that he was wounded, that he had two Purple Hearts, that he was in the 75th Infantry. From Kera News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

During the first 90 days of his tour in Vietnam, Michael Killam says he felt invincible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had weapons,\u201d he said. \u201cI had power over life and death. I could make people live or I could let them die. I became God-like.\u201d<\/p>\n
Killam was only 19 at the time. During his tour, he was captured for three days, hung upside down, and tortured for hours. Eventually, he escaped and returned to duty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, he was in Vietnam;<\/p>\n

He was a helicopter crewman, but with the 7th Battalion 15th Artillery<\/a>, not the 75th Infantry. It looks like he was a mechanic on an ~~OH-58<\/del> OH-6 Cayuse which would have been used for artillery observation and spotting, not in assault aircraft as he claims;<\/p>\n~~

DPAA says that he wasn’t a POW either;<\/p>\n

He did have two years of honorable service, though, including a year in Vietnam from August 1969 – September 1970;<\/p>\n

He left the service as a Private E-2, though, so I think he probably wasn’t the best soldier, but then how many of us were?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
