Stanley Kennedy was born in April of 1947 in Yuma, Arizona. He was drafted into service for the U.S. army after dropping out of college for a semester break in 1966. He served in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam from March of 1967 until March of 1968. He spent most of that time in combat in the Mekong Delta. The largest engagement Stanley took part in was the Tet offensive, where he was in close combat with Viet Cong forces in and around Saigon. After leaving the military, Stanley developed a career in the garment manufacturing industry. He is now retired and living with his family in Southern California. Though it was not by choice, Stanley is proud to have obeyed and served his country. [Profile bio]
