Ex South Vietnamese Ranger. Wounded in 1973, he was not a combat soldier in 1975. Since he had an uncle who was a high ranking Viet Cong, he only spent a week in a reeducation camp. With South Vietnamese Rangers, Marines and Paratroopers despised by the NVA, he likely would have died in prison.

Though South Vietnamese and American uniforms are treasured items, only US insignias are allowed. He removes ARVN ones or tailors US fatigues to fit customers.
