Show r Provo Army Lieutenant Returns From Vietnam to Recuperate jT&jt c v- From Wounds Received in Battle By JERRY M. YOUNG LI. William K. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Davis, 4198 N. 650 E., Provo, knows the difference a month can make. Yesterday, Bill was walking around Provo meeting his friends, getting his car washed and in many other ways acting as he had always done as a civilian. But exactly one month ago yesterday, May 6, as the sun set, he was Lt. William K. Davis, and he was meeting with the officers of a Vietnamese Popular Forces group preparing to go out on patrol in the Cu Chi District, a part of the three corps area, just a couple of miles from the well known Parrot's beak sector of the Cambodian border where U.S troops had crossed over just six days before. The difference between the two Bill Davises is that on that night, Bill was hit in the head, by a Viet Cong bullet. The shot tore out his eye and it was only by chance that it didn't kill him. His friends can see the difference because he wears a black patch over his right eye until a new plastic eye can be fitted into PCe' His Attitude There's another difference in Bill Davis, but this one has little to do with change, rather, it involves the difference in his attitude and the attitude of many persons of his own generation and throughout the nation. Bill believes there is a reason for fighting in Vietnam. He also supports the programs of the first to Vietnamize President that country's war, and second, to destroy the enemy's sanctuary in Cambodia. Bill graduated from Provo High School in 1966. Two years later he enlisted in the Army, because he wanted to choose his school of training. Army Training His basic training was at Fort Leonardwood, Mo., where he earned the Outstanding Trainee Award. On the strength of this he was able to take a test for Officer's Candidate School. He competed with two college graduates and scored higher maintainence. and he was given the opportunity to go there even though he had signed a waiver relinquishing his right to his chosen school. Goes to Vietnam Prior to going to Vietnam, he spent eight months at Ft Ord. In Vietnam he attended more school, this time as a part of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) 43. On completion of that training he was to a Military assigned Assistance Team (MAT Team) DENIES PROBLEM WASHINGTON (UPI) --The government's top health officer, than either. He attended OCS, at Ft.
