When Larry Edens left U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in 1965, “The Sound of Music” was a popular movie, Lyndon Johnson was president, and the United States’ troop strength in Vietnam was escalating dramatically. YPG was Edens’ only permanent duty station during his time in uniform. After two years of active duty and three years in the reserves, Edens spent three years in the Tennessee National Guard and was promoted to captain on his last day. He returned to his job at DuPont in Tennessee, and later worked for his alma matter, Georgia Tech, for a number of years before retiring. Through it all, he considered his time at YPG as a formative experience, personally and professionally.
