Vietnam Vet in Wheelchair Since Wounded in 1968 Inspires Others!
Show Notes


Dennis Haines was drafted.  He was   assigned to Infantry training and detailed to the 199th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam.   In 1968 he was a combat trooper -- helicoptered in to fight enemy soldiers were they were discovered.   He tells what combat was like and the day when a Viet Cong shot him in the head.

 He has been in a wheelchair since 1968 due to bullet wounds from an AK 47 Assault Rifle.   Yet,  he is not bitter or angry.  He proudly did his duty as an American.  Dennis stays busy helping at the Veterans Administration hospital assisting other veterans in Pennsylvania.
