ROSWELL — Bob Wooley and Jack Swickard gave an overview of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Roswell Rotary Club members.
Wooley and Swickard are longtime members of the David Westphall Veterans Foundation.
In their talk to the Rotary club, they presented a history of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Angel Fire, from its beginning as a memorial to Marine Lt. David Westphall, who died in combat during the Vietnam War.
Wooley also spoke about the renovation — which he spearheaded — of the UH-1H Huey, a centerpiece of the Memorial at Angel Fire.
Swickard flew the Huey in combat during the Vietnam War when it was assigned to the 118th Assault Helicopter Company at Bien Hoa, RVN.
