For Michael L. Hoelscher, service was something he learned from his father, a WWII Marine. Shortly after graduating from Chester Community High School, Hoelscher started a career in uniform, with the first part as a Security Policeman in the U.S. Air Force, including a year-long tour on the ground in Vietnam. There he often found himself fighting as an infantryman with his fellow airmen in the defense of a key airbase. | | | | Date Created: | 08-25-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | 983**14 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000052714 Original UID: 173932 FIRST WORD: Rockwood | |
