LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Like it was yesterday, U.S. Army veteran David G. Young called off the stops and some of the events from his days serving our country nearly 50-years ago.
Sergeant E-5 Young graduated from La Follette High School in 1969, went to work at Furtex and was drafted from there into the military in 1971.
“Basic training was at Fort Knox, (south of Louisville, Kentucky) and from there, I was sent to Fort Ord (Monterey Bay, California). Ft. Ord has since closed,†said Young. He completed AIT (Advanced Individual Training) at Ft. Ord before joining his unit and then was shipped to South Korea.
