James A Hudson's Story:

James A. Hudson was born in July 16, 1947 in Westford, MA. He went to Westford Academy and lived a normal life. Until he joined the army and was sent to Vietnam to fight for his country, when he turned 18. He served in two tours during the Vietnam War. He explained his time in Vietnam as a rough experience. He said that it would be hot in the day and freezing in the night. He said that he did things that he would have never dreamed when he was there. He did these things because he was forced to, it was either do it or die. When he got back he had a child and a wife. For him, it was a tough time getting used to the modern world in America, but he soon adapted to the life in the US. And now he is retired and coaches freshman football at Nauset High School.
