Jimmy and Carolyn Roach oral history recording

Description

An audio recording of an oral history of Jimmy and Carolyn Roach on the Vietnam War. Jimmy Roach and Carolyn Roach both attended Hillsboro high school. Mr. Roach graduated in 1967 and he enlisted in service in 1968. He was in the 25th Infantry, mechanized unit in Vietnam, where he was wounded during his second day in the field. As a result he was transferred to a medical camp team where he provided security. He received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star and spent the remaining 8 months of duty in Italy. The two recall people showed that they supported the war by wearing MIA bracelets.
