Meet Bruce Young!
Bruce was born in Minnesota and graduated from St. Thomas in 1968. He completed his Officer Training School in December 1968 and was soon off to the USAF ALO/FAC Training Course.
From September 1970 to September 1971, he was stationed at DaNang and flew the OV-10 as a Forward Air Controller over the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Laos. he accumulated a total of 680 combat hours and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and 10 Air Medals.
If you want to know what a FAC flies, this will give you an idea!
His job was to fly low, take photographs, spot the enemy and assist with the attacks by directing planes. This was not a safe job!
Thanks Bruce!
