Veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam still ‘serving his country’

His Army career started when he was 17 years old. It included World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

"It was at the very end of World War II, when I started"” Geisel said. "I enlisted; didn’t get to go into combat (in World War II), but I served in Korea and then tours in Vietnam. I went there the first time in 1962, and then again in ’66 and ’68"”
