Today, we salute Army Veteran Ken David. Ken was drafted into the Army in 1969 and arrived in South Vietnam in January 1970. He served in Delta Company of the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry. The unit came under attack from the North Vietnamese Army atop a mountain. Six American soldiers were killed that day, and 14 were wounded. Ken was one of the wounded and is credited with saving the lives of the other 13. In May 2020, Ken was awarded the U.S. Army’s second-highest commendation of valor, the Distinguished Service Cross. He also has been inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
