But, like many thousands of American men, he felt there was a job to be done. And so, like the others, Steve Bullock spent his latest wedding anniversary In Viet nam. But Bullock is not a soldier. U.S. servicemen are not the only one 6 who have sacrificed a comfortable year at home to support America's efforts in Vietnam. Steve Bullock is a field director for the American Red Cross. Bullock, 31, is stationed with the Army's II Field Force Headquarters at Long Blnh, a 15-mlnute helicopter ride from Saigon. Though he lives with the troops and shares their hardships, Bullock is not in volved In the conduct of the war. His responsibility is to assist several thousand U.S. soldiers with personal and fam ily emergencies such as Inevita bly occur when men are at war and cannot be present to han dle things themselves. "My job is to serve as a link between the serviceman and his family back in the States," he explained. "My purpose with troops in the field is to ensure that every man knows that he has a per son he can come to when he has a personal problem here or at home that needs attention. First, I'm available to listen to his problem, make sugges tions for solutions and make referrals. Secondly, I can assist him to contact his home by rapid communications through Red Cross channels to obtain the information he needs to resolve the problem." Birth announcements, situa tions involving death or critical illness in the family and reports of other emergencies at home are transmitted by a local state side Red Cross Chapter to the American Red Cross field di rector attached to a soldier's unit in Vietnam. He contacts the soldier. If necessary he can obtain further information via Red Cross telecommunications, supply military authorities with facts required for granting an emergency leave, and even provide financial assistance to cover the man's immediate travel expenses. Often lost mail or a mixup in address causes a lapse in communications between a ser viceman and his family; the R*>d Cross can act as a go between to dispel worry and concern at either end. Some times a serviceman in Vietnam needs Red Cross assistance in volving a family move to an other location or in advising his wife as to medical facilities and other government benefits available to the family. A soldier may experience marital problems accentuated by sepa ration and difficulties of com munication. The Red Cross field director can expedite all such communications. Regard less of the type of problem or emergency, a serviceman in Vietnam can obtain both guid ance and quick, accurate in formation by contacting his Red Cross Field Director. Said Steve Bullock: "Per sonal and family problems have an obvious effect on a serviceman's morale. If it af fects his performance it affects the over all performance of the team and may endanger other thus benefit a man's comrades as well as restoring his own peace of mind." Bullock was raised on a farm near Enfield. He was grad uated from Virginia Union Uni versity in Richmond in 1959 with a B. A. in sociology. No stranger to the military, Bul lock spent 27 months in the Army. He was released from service in 1962 and quickly joined the Red Cross. "I had a great interest In this sort of work," he recalls. "I had considered similar job* with other organizations, but I also had a desire to travel. The Red Croas offered me both." He *M appointed an A«sist ant Field Director and aasigned to Ft. Behroir, Virginia, then to Ft. Monmouth, New Jewy and Anally to Pirmasena, Ger many, was promoted to Field Director and served again at Ft. Belvoir until assigned to Vietnam in November of last year. "Shortly after I arrived I realized that although being In Vietnam was a unique and ex citing experience it was also dangerous," Bullock recalls. "To be quite frank, after a few days my prospect of re turning seemed a trifle bleak; I thought there was a good chance of my being killed. "But on the other hand, I'd prepared myself for the woret: I expected to live In a tent, use a trench for a latrine and puri fy my own drinking water, etc. Yet when I arrived at Bearcat -- headquarters of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division, which operates principally in the Me kong Kelta - I found barracks, messhalls, latrines, running cold water; it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd expected." Steve Bullock remained at Bearcat close to six months, visiting troops in areas of con tinous fighting and supervising the work of eight Assistant Field Directors. Less than two months ago he was again pro moted and transferred to the II Field Force Headquarters at Long Binh. "The caseload here is some what lighter than at 9th Divi sion," he said "This is a head quarters command, and there is a greater density of high ranking personnel who are in a better position to handle their own problems. But at the Division we had many draftees who had been in the Army only a matter of months and were overseas and away bom their families for the first time; the war was more of an adjust ment for both them and their families. I'd much rather be with them although I feel my year here has been more than worthwhile. There is a job to be done here; some year ago the Red Cross was elected to do that job. My family and I agreed that we could sacrifice a year for this end, and I have no regrets. "The work has been very rewarding for me as I think it is for anyone who realizes the purpose of the Red Cross mis sion - our reason for being here. There is a tremendous need for our services to help maintain the morale of the troops and their families back ~nd you don't have to look hard to see that the Red Cross is making a large contri bution. "Perhaps the greatest re ward comes when you see that your efforts were worthwhile and that you've been able to assist a man in solving a prob lem and returning to duty and becoming productive again with greater peace of mind. It's simple: I receive satisfaction knowing I've helped a man." When Bullock returns from Vietnam, he will be promoted to the post of assistant director of Service at Military Installa tions, stationed in the Red Cross Eastern Area headquar ters, Alexandria, Va. Bullock's wife, Mrs. Doris K. Bullock, now lives oh Rt. 2, Lawrenceville, Virginia. 1 Naval Depot Workers Cited For Excellence Seven employees of the Naval Publications and Forms Center MOl Tabor ave., Philadelphia; re ceived Performance Awards recently (or outstanding work performances during the past year. \ Cited for exceeding the establish ed norm for their respective posi- Hons were: Albert Prodto, ltll a.
