Interview with James J. Satterwhite, Vietnam War veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project

I'm his grandson and I hadn't even heard his full story until today.

He looks like Robert De Nero....

I came back from Vietnam as an E-5 (Army) in early January 1970 . I was living in So Cal. and was out for coffee after dinner and a movie. I was wearing my dress uniform with a few medals that was very proud of. In a very nice restaurant some hippie types really did a number on me. I could have wiped the floor with them but just took it. I never wore my dress uniform again unless it was mandatory. James you are a treasure and a role model that is hard to duplicate. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for your service to America.

Thank you Mr. Satterwhite
