For my Oral History Project, I had the great honor to sit down and interview my grandpa, John Olsen, about his part in the Vietnam War.
John served in the war from 1968-1972. He was a Boilerman aboard the U.S.S Orleck.
He traveled all over and saw lots of combat. Luckily his ship never had any casualties. It was a great life lesson and his stories and facts may surprise you.
