Wetzel, who was a door gunner on a helicopter in Vietnam, was critically wounded when the aircraft was
trapped in a landing zone. Despite his numerous wounds, which eventually led to the amputation of his left arm,
Wetzel returned to his position and helped stave off the enemy until they could be rescued.
Wetzel, who said he had been coming to the Milwaukee VA for more than half a century, reminded those in attendance that they were
a part of history. “I think about the men that got healed in this hospital, and I also think about the men that didn’t survive
and are buried here in our cemetery, and there’s a bunch there that I know,” he said.
