Michael Cunningham was seventeen years old when he first sought out a military recruiter. Michael served in the U.S Marines from 1967 to 1969 and was deployed to Vietnam to fight in the Vietnam war in 1968. Michael was stationed in Marble Mountain in the Da Nang area of Vietnam. He recalls many casualties in his unit, the kilo co. which has effected him greatly. The biggest reason for those casualties were boobie traps. Michaels said that his experience in Vietnam was an expecience unlike any other. Going to Vietnam and fighting has made him the man that he is today and he wouldn't take back going if he could. Michael said that the friendships that he has come out with from Vietnam are like no other, the men that he served with had became his brothers and they still stay in contact. Michael was honorably discharged in 1969, he wanted to get married and have children. He is proud to be a veteran and also has a website with some of his buddies that he served with.
