- Jim Keatley was born in Bremerton, Washington, in 1945. In the summer of 1966 he received his draft notice and received his basic training at Fort Ord, California. Upon completion of basic training he was sent to Fort Polk, Louisiana, for Advanced Infantry Training and completed that after eight weeks. After a month of leave he was deployed to Vietnam, arriving at Cam Ranh Bay. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, of the 1st Cavalry Division in An Khe. He was assigned to Headquarters Company and worked in Battalion Supply insuring the men in the battalion received enough supplies. For six months he worked in An Khe and Landing Zone English. The 12th Cavalry Regiment relieved the 4th Infantry Division at Dak To, and he stayed there for three or four weeks. From Dak To the unit moved to Quang Tri and he spent the remaining five months of his tour at that base. Upon returning to the United States he received a month of leave and spent the last six months of his enlistment at Fort Carson, Colorado, working in battalion supply. He was discharged at Fort Carson with a Bronze Star and the rank of sergeant.
I am working through these videos and they make me so thankful that there are people who selflessly represented our country and what it stood for. They might not necessarily have wanted to serve, but they did it despite politics, self-preservation and more. If these great men don’t give you hope for a return to our founding principles? I don’t know what to say. Thank God for all of you and thank your for sharing.
Thank you Sir for your service.💪

Nobody gets a bronze star for nothing!
Clerks are not that important. I had a CO who would not sign because 6 wall lockers were missing. Nobody would take care of it until we "found" 6 wall lockers.
