Former Hunger Striker Promoted on Viet Nam Battlefield
Winstor R Belton, six months after a seven day hunger strike at Fort Benning, is promoted to private first class in South Viet Nam. Capt R E Spriggs, his battalion commander, supported him and Belton has earned trust by serving as radioman under fire with the 1st Cavalry Division. Belton faced a suspended jail term from his hunger strike and risked it all to prove himself in combat.
