A Seminole Indian, Private First Class Tecumseh Nathaniel Underwood faced limited employment prospects in his home state of Oklahoma. A strong sense of patriotism drove him to follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps and enlist in the Army. Stationed in West Berlin from 1962 to 1965, he comments in his oral history interview, “I was in the middle of the destruction of a city.”
