Episode Synopsis

Ed Ackroyd left Berne-Knox-Westerlo’s high school when he was 17 to join the military. He enjoyed seeing the world until he was sent to Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. He got a Purple Heart after shrapnel wounded his leg, from which he recovered, but has spent a lifetime plagued with the effects of Agent Orange — skin inflammation, cancer, a heart attack. He’s also spent a lifetime advocating for veterans, pushing for recognition and for tax breaks. Seen here, he presents a Hometown Heroes banner bearing his image from his time in Vietnam. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
