Rod Hinsch was a warrior; he enlisted
in the Army out of high school, volunteered for the
elite Special Forces unit, and then in 1967 volunteered
again for service in Southeast Asia. His tour of duty
wasn't confined to dangerous combat situations; he
served as a bodyguard to entertainer Martha Raye. Raye
and Hinsch established a special bond; 23 years later he
saw her at a special event and she remembered details of
their first encounter.
