History [ Back to top ]

The last thing on Dave Roever's mind was going to war. But at the height of the Vietnam conflict, Roever received his draft notice. Having no desire to go into the infantry, he joined the Navy and served as a river boat gunner in the elite Brown Water Black Beret stationed in Vietnam.

Eight months into his duty in Vietnam, Roever was burned beyond recognition when a phosphorous grenade he was poised to throw exploded in his hand. The ordeal left him hospitalized for fourteen months, where he underwent fifteen major surgeries. His survival and life are miraculous.
