Doug Lindquist recalls his tour in Vietnam

The area circled shows the region where Lindquist spent most of his time in Vietnam.

Fort Polk is a military installation of the US Army located in Louisiana, where Doug Lindquist trained. It was named after Leonidas Polk, a distinguished Confederate general during the American Civil War. It was renamed Ft. Johnson in June of this year, the latest U.S. military installation to be re-designated as part of an effort to strip Confederate leaders of the honor. Fort Johnson serves as the only Combat Training Center that deploys and trains combat units.
