"Sergeant Pete"

David Peterson is proud of his moniker, "Sergeant Pete," and has long been involved in honoring the fallen soldiers of the Vietnam War. 

We've connected with those guys that we thought we would never see, and it's a wonderful thing.

David's story was captured with the help of TPT's Minnesota Remembers Vietnam team.
