Jerry Van is a Vietnam War Veteran and member of the Los Angeles Chapter of Veterans for Peace. He currently helps setup the Arlington West Memorial next to the Santa Monica Pier every weekend. His grandfather was a World War I veteran and his father was a World War II veteran. He graduated high school in 1965. Two years after in 1967, he was given a court order for training. At that time, he was a mechanic that worked closely with truck engines. Since he was diagnosed medically for his heart disorder and wasn’t fully cleared by his doctor, he was offered work as an engineer instead of working as a foot soldier. [Profile bio]
