| Viet Nam Veterans in the Classroom | Five years ago the eighth grade daughter of Ollie Pickral was reaching the part of her history book, which covered a chapter on the Vietnam War. She told her teacher that her dad was a veteran and had founded a veteran's organization known as the 11th Armored Cavalry's Veterans of Vietnam and Cambodia. Her teacher, Mr. Hogge, asked if her dad would speak about his war experiences to his classes at Richardson North Junior High School. Ollie accepted the invitation and asked Eric Newton who also served in K-Troop with him to help out. |
