Kern, Bob

Bob Kern is a native Hoosier. Born and raised in Bedford, Indiana, like many boys in the 70's, he dreamed of joining the military.

His dream came true at the age of seventeen when he enlisted in the US Army never dreaming that shortly thereafter, he would find himself thrust in the middle of the Cold War.

Since his honorable discharge in 1988, he has repeatedly thought about sharing his story with others to shed light on
