Tank McNamara had the honor to walk with Terry along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on day 2 of the Veterans Honors Flight.  The two sat down after the walk just outside the Lincoln Memorial.  

Terrance L. “Terry” Teiken
US Army
E-5

I was born and raised in Ogema, Minnesota and happily call the Detroit Lakes area home today. I was drafted by the Army and in November 1970, I was off for basic training. Upon completion at Fort Lewis, Washington, I was then assigned to the 269th Signal Group, working in crypto-secure communications in Bien Hoa, Vietnam. Serving my country and earning an honorable discharge were my two favorite accomplishments.

Upon my discharge in November 1971, I went to work as a high school teacher, coach, and eventual athletic director.

My beauty, Jeanne, and I were married in 1975. We have raised an incredible daughter and now have two wonderful grandchildren. I love spending time with my family the most.

I am a member of the VFW and the American Legion.
