     Gary B. Killough was born in 1942 during the War. His father being drafted shortly after his birth was in the Navy and so had to get him into a sailor uniform. In 1960 Gary volunteered for service in the Army, and was trained at Ft. Jackson, SC, Directly after training he was shipped out to Germany, where he was a semi-truck driver while there for two and one half years. Gary was on duty in Germany when the Berlin Wall was constructed. On full alert ready for what was going to happen. He was in Berlin once before the wall was built and once after. Quite an experience to travel through one hundred miles of Communist Territory to get to Berlin. While in Germany Gary was again on full alert and ready to go again when the Cuban Blockade was setup, squeaked by again. The Vietnam " Police Action" had now begun but he was close to being released form the Army and did not have to go again. Dodged the bullet again.
