Steve was a firefighter in Moraga when he was drafted to go to Viet Nam. He spent a year in active duty as part of a Huey rescue team. Upon retiring, he moved back to Moraga, where his family has been for almost 100 years, and spent the next 38 years fighting fires there.
Past 70 now, he's still active in the Viet Nam Veterans of Diablo Valley (www.vnvdv.com), who meet on the first Thursday of every month. One of the members of the group has an operable Huey that they take out a few times a year. The Huey and its crew were pressed into service recently following the tragic crash of a P-51 Mustang at an air show in Sparks, NV. These veterans remained ready to serve, long after Viet Nam.
