  2. R W Trewyn

Raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, Ron Trewyn was trained as an accountant, then as a cell biologist. Partway through the latter he was drafted into the Army where he attended the Vietnam-era NCO school, graduating as a Staff Sergeant, prior to serving in the infantry in Vietnam. Discharged early with shrapnel 2 inches from his heart, he returned home proud of his combat service and that of his selfless brothers. Encountering widespread anti-veteran hatred was a shock. He was about to reenlist for Vietnam duty when antiwar protestors torched the landmark college building where he was finishing his undergraduate degree. It was the same complex where he had completed K-10 of his education. Watching Old Main burn lit a fire in him to stay and battle the anarchists at home. After completing his doctoral degree, he conducted cancer research for 20 years, and was appalled to find ongoing discrimination against Vietnam veterans at his and other universities. He completed his academic career in administration on a veteran-friendly campus, retiring as vice president for research emeritus. Vietnam’s War of Hate describes his multi-decade quest to expose those guilty of stealing pride in service to America from Vietnam vets.
