During his military career he found time to be a Black Belt Karate/Judo Expert and was an active National Rifle Association Instructor. Capt. John E. Todd USA (Ret) pursued his love of higher education by earning a BS Degree from the University of Maryland in 1965. I feel this may have been brought home from the Korean War due to the tag. WWII and Vietnam had official war trophy paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCapturephotos Posted May 7 Share #2 Posted May 7 Was just talking to my students today about how all sorts of left over weapons from WWII, The First Indochina War, etc showed up during our Vietnam war...it's really a good illustration about all of the countries that occupied, influenced or were involved in Vietnam at one time or another. Thanks for sharing. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
