All through October, we're proudly sharing the stories of U.S. Veterans. This week's spotlight is on Larry Lachant.  He served in the Army from 1955-1957, after the "police action" was technically over but guys were still being killed every day.
 
Larry Lachant was a Corporal in the 7th Army, 4th Ordinance Battalion, Quartermaster Corps.  He was stationed not far from UiJongBu.   He would tell his son Michael how volatile the weather changes were, one day it was in the 90's, the next it was below freezing.  And very much like the Klinger character from the M.A.S.H TV show, he would get into trouble with his superiors for not filling out the proper paperwork before sending out supplies.  He couldn't stand the thought of "his guys" freezing in trenches and foxholes waiting for gloves and boots and jackets while the right paperwork was done, so he would just send it and make it up later.  After his service to the country, Larry founded MI-RO Machinery after working for MDNA Member Federal Machinery. Son, Michael Lachant grew up in the business and now runs MIRO Machinery.
