"Beginning in September of 1967 [Peter Holt] put in an action-filled tour of duty as a rifleman with Company A, 2nd of the 22nd in the 25th Infantry Division...He was a good soldier who came home from Vietnam in 1968 with a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, and a Purple Heart. Holt received the latter after a bullet grazed the base of his neck during an intense firefight with the NVA in which Holt survived only after burrowing beneath the dead bodies of two fellow soldiers."
