Mr. Dulin volunteered to be a Navy corpsman after he graduated high school, knowing full well he would end up serving with the Marines in Vietnam, “which at that point,” he says, “didn’t bother me. … I was very young, and I didn’t think anybody could hurt me.” He describes his rather extensive medical training, including dispensary work and field medical training school, and then infantry training with the Marines. He arrived in Da Nang on July 3rd, and July 4th found himself in a CH-46 with a reactionary force response to a team that was being overrun. He recalls MEDCAPs, and orphans, and “recon patrols, where we would go out and we would look for the enemy and call in artillery on them, take prisoners, or engage them,” and buying liquor for Marines, and really liking and having great respect for the Vietnamese people.
