There are many cases of men being drafted into the Army and later embracing the life of a Soldier and going on to volunteer for Airborne, Rangers and SF.

During the Vietnam War era (1964-1973) the US military drafted:

2.2 million American men out of an eligible pool of 27 million.

25% of total forces in country were draftees.

Draftees accounted for 30.4% of all combat deaths in Vietnam.

Two-thirds of U.S. military who served in Vietnam volunteered for duty, while one-third were drafted.

Larry Don Kittrell of Highlands, Texas, answered the call to serve with the United States Marine Corps. Enlisting in May of 1968, he was assigned as a rifleman with Echo Company, 2/7 Marines. Barely four months into his tour, Larry was critically wounded in combat and died on October 2, 1968, from small arms fire sustained during a ground engagement. He was just 20 years old.

Today, we remember PFC Kittrell’s sacrifice and honor the courage he displayed in the jungles of Vietnam. His memory lives on in the Marines who served beside him and in the country he gave his life to defend.
