He was an outstanding American that served regardless of daddy's money and influence. Sam Walton didn't want his son to fight in Vietnam and could have used his money and connections to influence the powers that be to keep his son out of harms way.
John T. Walton would have it no other way. I read a story at some point that he was seriously wounded in Vietnam and lost a leg as a result but still rose to continue his father's legacy. I'll look for the source.
Damn fine American who literally looked out for "the little people".
RIP Sir.
