Dale Lee Flowers was drafted into the US Army March 1969. After basic training at Ft. Knox, he was stationed at Ft. Benning in GA before shipping out to Vietnam for a year's active duty. Incidentally, he was drafted just a few weeks after getting married. His wife went to Ft. Benning with him and taught school on the base. As he held an accounting degree, he did a lot of accounting work for the Army overseas in addition to pulling guard duty. He was awarded medals for sharp shooting even though flat feet and horrible vision prevented him from a combat assignment.
