The guest: Tom Baker is an Army brat. His father was an old Brown boot Seargeant Major who fought under Patton in World War II.
Tom is a combat veteran from the war in Vietnam. After being with the 1/9th for about a month and a half, the 1/9th moved south to III corps at Phuoc Vinh. Tom's chopper was shot down twice during that period.
When Tom got out of the Army in May of 1970, he returned to North Carolina and went to Forestry School. He worked as a forester and logger for over forty years. Tom is the co-founder and President of the Jackson County Veterans Organization, and is an active member of the Writing for Healing Veterans group Brothers and Sisters Like These. He has published one historical fiction novel (The Hawk and The Dove) and a memoir (Warrior Wannabe A Memoir). And like many veterans, he tries to help veterans.
