He volunteered for the Marine Corp when our country made the call.  Julian served three tours of duty from 1965-67 even though his country only asked for two.  Julian received three purple hearts and many other medals and awards which he would later donate to the Vietnam War Memorial in Angel Fire, New Mexico.  He retired from Ft. Lyon VAMC in 1992.  Julian was a strong and vibrant man that loved hunting, fishing, and everything to do with the outdoors.  He was a good husband, father, and human being with the rare quality of direct honesty.  He and his laughter will forever be missed.
