I rode all over North America until the day I was 18 and I enlisted in the Army – so I could go to Vietnam and ‘fight the righteous fight.’ The Army over trained me: Ranger School , Special Forces, Jungle Expert School : I went to Vietnam as a sergeant, a weapons and small unit tactics expert. I did what is now called ‘Black Ops.’ I was captured and held in a field interment camp after having served 12 months of a 13 month tour – during which I received two Purple Hearts. I was tortured for 13 days and then ‘rescued.’ I was then sent to the US for three years of reconstructive surgery and psychological treatment.

My Life Biography
Since leaving Waco High: I joined the Marine Corps and did a 9yr 9mo tour. My stay there earned me the right to catch the tail-end of Viet Nam where I earned a Silver Star, two Purple Hearts and an unfortunate 4 month stay as a POW. After returning to the States I studied Criminology at Baylor and ASU while still in the service. Once out of the Marines, I went to work in the State of Texas as a Rrooper and then as a Ranger. I later transferred to the U.S.Marshals Service. Anyway to make this boring long story short, I now live in Oklahoma. I am a webmaster/programmer. Anyone that knows or remembers Bill (Curly) Byrum and know how to get in touch with him PLEASE let me know. Thanks

Floyd Kiser lost his childhood and his lifelong friend when he was shot down in Vietnam.
Never found, he was listed as MIA and remains so today. Over four years ago, building a veteran's memorial park in Lincoln County became a dream for Kiser.
A dream that became reality last Saturday. Himself a POW in Laos, Kiser came home from the war with memories he rarely speaks of if at all. At 62, he suffers from lung damage caused by exposure to Agent Orange........

This case was set for retrial: In pleading guilty the 2nd time, he was rewarded with less time, now serving 4 to 10 on the attempt murder and 4 to 10 for use of a deadly weapon served consecutively. He had received 5 to 12 and half and 5 to 12 and half in the original sentencing. His false POW story would have been made public in the re-trial. He will be eligible for parole on the first count immediately. Victim impact statements are set for early December in court.

Vietnam Vet and former POW Harry Klein dies before realizing his dream

Harry “Dusty” Klein wanted to go to the National Veterans Wheelchair Games last year. He couldn’t go because he was in the VA Medical Center in Lake City having his only remaining leg removed. This year, Klein was all ready to head for Alaska the first of July to compete in the games, when he died unexpectedly in his home early Wednesday morning, June 28.

Feisty and full of life, Klein didn’t bat an eye when they told him he had to have his remaining leg amputated.

“Take it off, let me get healed up, give me my other leg and get out of the way,” the 58-year-old Vietnam veteran told them.

Using two prosthetic legs and a cane, Klein walked on-stage as the keynote speaker at a Memorial Day program seven months later. He was determined to be ready to go to Alaska this July to compete in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.

Klein had planned to compete in several events, bowling, air rifles and table tennis. He’d wanted to compete in the wheelchair race. But along with the new work on his amputated leg, Klein suffered a silent heart attack when he was in the hospital and needed to build back his strength.

Klein served in the Army and fought in Vietnam. In Vietnam, Klein was a supply escort, infantryman and reconnaissance scout behind enemy lines. Klein was a POW for 18 months.

“I was at what they nicknamed the Hanoi Hilton,” says Klein, who served with the 101st Airborne Division. “I had been there for some time and saw that some of the guys didn’t make it. I just sat down one day and said to God, ‘If you get me home one more time, I will do whatever you want.’ I was one of the first POWs released.”

Back in the states, Klein attended Purdue University, graduating with a degree in engineering and architecture. After starting his own business, he worked with CBS for 17 years as a dancer and choreographer, ultimately owning 13 dance studios throughout the US. In 1997, he became an ordained minister. He worked with two youth groups and volunteered at the VA medical center chaplain’s office.

Klein lived near Dowling Park on several acres where he was raising thoroughbreds. Klein had 13 horses, three of them well-bred brood mares he bought from local thoroughbred man Curly Taylor.

“These girls have top-of-the-line papers,” Klein boasted with pride. “They are out of Sagittarius and First Pretense.” Klein said his goal was to teach riding to children with disabilities and special needs.

Klein said the more he shared his blessings with others, the more he was blessed. When he lost his second leg, he visited 20 to 25 patients a day at the VA medical center, rolling the halls of the hospital in his wheelchair. By the time he left the hospital eight months later, he was able to walk from room to room.

“Because of great therapy and determination, I am actually walking,” he said. “I am now walking with the use of a cane, and by July 4, I will walk with nothing except myself and the grace of God.”

Klein had good advice for those with disabilities: “Don’t listen to any people who have negativity. Do what you feel is right, and never give up because anything is possible. Believe me, I know.”

“This is so sad,” said Veteran’s Medical Center spokesperson Mary Kay Hollingsworth. “He was truly an inspiration to our patients and our employees. He was positive-minded and wanted to make a difference to both veterans and disabled children through his horse farm. He will be missed tremendously by the VA family.”
