Easy Rider Volunteers for the New Army Campaign
Army riders Douglas Reitmeyer and Michael Speegle completed a 12 000 mile cross country tour to promote the new volunteer Army. They met with Secretary Froehlke and Gen. Westmoreland after greeting crowds in 70 cities. The pair said they were not recruiting, just sharing Army life and changes including better pay barracks and meals. Both enlisted for a three year term to avoid the draft, with plans to pursue college or reenlist after their tour ends.
