Vietnam War - Interview with Carl LaPalm

Vietnam War - Interview with Carl LaPalm
Carl LaPalm served in 1971 and was severely injured during the "mad minute" when his patrol came off its duty. His moving story tells about not only of his purple heart, but also about the many horrible things that happened to others. Mr. LaPalm came back from the war to become a carpenter, in spite of his injury to his hand, working on some of our area's largest projects including the Richard Russell Dam, the Atlanta Falcon's Dome and the Athens Regional Medical Center.
