Doug served in Vietnam in 1967. His unit was attached to the 1st Marine Division, and stationed in the mountains south west of DaNang. In bloody fighting all members of his unit were either killed or wounded. His combat experience turned him into a killer, a savage and brutal as any animal in any jungle. After returning home he finished school, raised a family, coached football, baseball and basketball, and to most who know him became the guy next door. But, the beast inside him, the one born in those bloody mountains, is still with him and will always remain.
