enlisted

of
1968
,
Guzman
arrived
in
Saigon
where
he was
assigned
to the
5th
regiment
in An
Hoa
.
Guzman
described
in
detail
what
daily
life
consisted
of for the
marines
in the
3rd
Battalion
,
including
mail
service
and the
food
that they
ate
.
During
the
course
of the
interview
, he also
described
the
skirmishes
and
fire
fights
that his
platoon
encountered
when
out
on
patrol
.
While
in
Vietnam
,
Guzman
contracted
malaria
. He
returned
to the
United
States
after
13
months
in
Vietnam
, and
went
back
to
Camp
Lejeune
,
where
he
did
work
and
training
for an
additional
year
.
After
his
discharge
, he
returned
to
Hartford
,
CT
and
got
a
job
at
Pratt
and
Whitney
where
he
worked
for
20
years

organizations
upon
