are not yet tallied, Groff an-two
weeks ago. He expects to
be officially discharged from
the service by the end of this
month, and his immediate plans
are to assist in his father’s
pràctiee in Lititz. His first com­ment
on Viet Nam: “It’s good
to be home!”
Captain Grosh saw action in
Viet Nam with the 11th Ar­mored
Cavalry Regiment as a
Squadron Surgeon. In that ca­pacity,
he was responsible for
the medical care of the 1100
officers arid enlisted men of the
3rd Squadron, and was usually
where the action was.
“We also took care of many
sick and wounded civilians in
the villages of Viet Nam,”
Grosh explained. Clinics have
been set up in many villages
and “sick rail” held periodical­ly:
His squadron also adopted
an orphanage needing special
treatment.
He described the Americans’
medical efforts lo aid the ci­vilians
as “generally v/ell-ae-ticipates

encountered, he noted,

The Center was named for

the Center in 1961. The orig­inal

to pay half of $45,000 which
had remained in 1962, and. in
November 1964, he- paid $22,-
