AN INSPIRING STORY OF REDEMPTION, FAMILY, FAITH

 RonnieFishFROM RONNIE GOTZON, a Vietnam era veteran and his very close 18 year old cousin Tommy Becker was a day that would change both their lives and subsequently affect their families forever: “It was 1969 ,both young men were in the Army. Tommy had his orders to go to Viet Nam. I just got my orders to go over seas. This happened within a few weeks of each other. We both shook as we sat at our grand parents table knowing we will be sent to south east Asia very soon. When Tommy left for another part of the world in Vietnam, I was standing in line with his orders to replace one 82nd paratrooper in Dakhow Southeast Asia.
