For Vietnam Veterans Day, Senator King Interviews Vietnam Veteran and Maine Humorist Gary Crocker

For the March edition of “Answering the Call: Maine’s Veteran Voices," Senator King spoke with longtime Maine humorist Gary Crocker, who served on the USS Boston as a Navy Reservist in the Vietnam War. During the interview, Gary shared his story of inspiration and opportunity that led him to join the Armed Services, his time on the USS Boston stationed off the coast of Vietnam, and how his journey as an educator in Maine was shaped by his service. Vietnam Veterans Day is set aside every year on March 29th by the military and veteran community to mark the date in 1974 when the last active duty American troops left the nation at the conclusion of the war.<br>
