 So I became Charlie Company's second platoon medic and went out to the field on the 9th of March, 1969. And the first guy to greet me was the guy that I learned would be Sergeant Hatton. And his hat was on crooked, his helmet's on crooked, he's got a tooth missing right here in front, and he talked real slow. And shame on me, this is not the way I was raised. I thought, Lord you've put me in a life and death situation, this guy's supposed to save my life, thank you very much. Well a couple days later, I had discovered, because I'm a talker and tried to learn and meet as many people as I could, Sergeant Doug Hatton, of which I didn't know his first name at the time, Sergeant Hatton was a high school graduate. Jim McLuhan was a college graduate with a degree, but Sergeant Hatton had a master's degree in fighting the war, Jim McLuhan was a kindergartener. So I always state that I was smart enough to know how dumb I was, and I listened to everything that man told me, and he's part of the reason why I'm sitting here talking to you.
