Someone sent us their work on this Ron Norris<\/a> fellow who claims to be a Vietnam veteran of the Marine Corps variety.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s a motorcycle and a vest involved;<\/p>\n

Here he is quoted in the Muskogee Phoenix<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Ron Norris remembers being under Viet Cong artillery fire for 72 days in 1968 at Khe Sanh in Vietnam. He was in force reconnaissance with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines. <\/p>\n

This week, Norris came to the Muskogee War Memorial Park to see \u201cThe Wall That Heals\u201d is a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Seeing the Vietnam moving wall means a lot, Norris said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re bringing something to the people who didn\u2019t know anything that happened from 1968 on,\u201d Norris said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, he’s much more proud of his service now than when he was in uniform. He was a Marine during the Vietnam War, for about nine months, more than two of which he spent as a deserter; he took leave in July and didn’t come back until September.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

He spent the last three months of service in confinement and awaiting his discharge – no Vietnam service, no combat action, no Purple Heart. <\/p>\n

He’s kiddie toucher, too;<\/p>\n
