We’re back on the air for Show Number 17. I was privileged to have joined SSgt John Quintrell and fellow Wolfhounds July 2021, in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Hard Rock Hotel at their Annual Wolfhounds 2nd and 27^th REUNION. I met John and his son Timothy, a Protestant Minister, at the Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino in Chester, Pennsylvania,  a few years ago when he recorded Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans: Spec.-4 Jerry Tempesta (1969-1970) and Lance Corporal Joseph Silvestri (1966-1967) (USMC) Vietnam Veterans about their combat experiences in Vietnam. John and his son (pastor) Timothy travel country-wide to Video-Tape Vietnam Veterans for the Historiography of Vietnam and lived- experiences of Combat-soldiers.
