Bill Cochrane | Deep, Deep, Deep Trouble at the Battle of Ripcord

The end of Bill Cochrane's tour was marked by severe injuries inflicted during the Battle of Ripcord. Though he was offered a medical discharge, he turned it down to avoid any stigma while he looked for a job. Within 48 hours of getting discharged from the hospital and the Army, Bill started a new job at the Ford Motor Company, got a new car, and got married. He counts many blessings in his life.

Bill's story was captured with the help of TPT's Minnesota Remembers Vietnam team. Learn more about the initiative at MNVietnam.org.
