I recently acquired the uniform from Col.Jim Noll (retired) and some other items.
Jim was drafted in June,1968, went to OCS and then to the 101st Airborne.
He was sent to Vietnam where his unit spent 3-1/2 months in the battle for Firebase
Ripcord. Jim was a platoon leader (First Lt.) and was wounded twice while in Vietnam.
He was awarded his Purple Hearts, Silver Star and Bronze Star.
He joined the Army Reserves after discharge in 1971. Over two decades he became the
Commander of the 13th Psyops Battalion and was the highest ranking Minnesotan to serve in the
Persian Gulf War.
He retired in June 1999 as a Colonel.
