![](/images/newsimage/79217/unnamed_10.jpg)
MONTGOMERY, TX -- This week’s Veteran is Albert Vrazel, who served in the U.S. Army from 1969 - 1971. He served as an Infantryman in Vietnam, being forced to join, or drafted, three weeks out of high school. Albert served as a pointman for six months. On one patrol, his platoon sergeant got the patrol lost, and Albert and his radio man showed up back at base thinking they were right behind. They weren’t. Vrazel was then ordered to bring the lost platoon back to base, which he did. For all his work overseas, Albert was awarded the Bronze Star. After his service, Albert got a job, and eventually wound up owning his own sheet metal fabrication company. He also was a professional saltwater fisherman winning many tournaments. Good Luck Albert, and Congratulations on being ‘Veteran of the Week’.
