Click the image on the left to view a presentation about my friend Eric Osen's service as a veterinary technician in the US Army. Eric's service included caring for President Johnosn's dogs and a year in Vietnam caring for sentry dogs. When we worked together in the biotechnology industry, Eric was my manager, my mentor, and my friend. I will always be grateful to have known him.
