Didnt we have a player who went into military after Clemson


Jan 27, 2019, 3:59 PM

like Garret Williams is contemplating? I know Sean McClain did but I'm thinking of another recent player. This guy was a starter or second team guy I think. Can any of you recall

We had many who back in our military school days and several gave their life for our freedom. Don't forget them.
When I was in transit to Korea, a former Clemson player was in our transit group. Another Clemson man, who was also in the group was assigned to a Graves Registration Company. Within two months he called me to tell me that he had "just seen" our football player friend.His message was clear and a great shock.

Don't forget our recent military veteran that became a Clemson walk on after his military service. Daniel Rodriguez, U.S. Army, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and has the scars to prove it.

As a Marine dad, I am proud of any Clemson slums that serve in the military.

Huzzah to all.

You can read Red Platoon about the 14 hour attack in Afghanistan. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.

It was Mason Cloy. Riding through Ft. Monroe, Va, when Mason was at Clemson, I noticed a name sign on his family's military quarters. We stopped and talked with his mother and thanked her that her son went to Clemson. She was so excited about Clemson and that her son was there. His dad was an Army colonel at the time.

When in Vietnam, we were being attacked one night by enemy rockets. While in a dark bunker, I saw a Clemson ring staring at me. Found out it was a Major General, who at the time was visiting our compound and who lived in Columbia at the time. Just can't remember his name now. I saw Clemson men all over the world during my Army career.

Where were you when the rockets were coming in? I was the "recipient" of 122 MM rockets numerous times, mostly in the Chu Lai area. Fortunately the VC didn't know where those things were going, but occasionally got lucky, like the hootch shown here.
