Steven Dreyer - U.S. Army 1968-69

Steven Dreyer grew up in Long Island, NY and served with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam in 1969. “Getting off the plane in Vietnam was one day after another survival”, said Steve, “this is just a bad freaking dream and I just need to get through it and on the other side”. Beginning early in 1969 the 1st Cavalry fought a series of heavy skirmishes along enemy trails leading southward from the Cambodian border toward Saigon as three separate North Vietnamese Army divisions attempted to gain positions closer to the capital.

While serving in Vietnam Steve was injured numerous times and awarded 3 Purple Hearts.

When people ask us, “what’s the most incredible story a Veteran has ever told you”, we usually mention Jim Blaylock telling us about being tossed in a body bag after being mistaken for dead.

"It was getting a bit warm and stuffy but it wasn’t long before we reached the mortuary and I was put on the cooler tray. When they opened the door and it was my time for the embalming the mortician had just made his incision and I bled a little, that was unusual and so he began to check my vital signs then they were able to get a slight pulse” - From Jim's interview (Sep 2019)
