Reunited

Putnam resident Alan Joslin, right, a U.S. Navy veteran who was seriously wounded in Vietnam, was reunited this summer with Dr. Cesar Cardenas in Lake city, Iowa.  When Joslin was wounded with life-threatening injuries during his tour in Vietnam, Dr. Cardenas, a surgeon who was a Major at the time, performed life-saving surgery allowing Joslin to be transferred to a military hospital.  Joslin’s injuries occurred on Sept. 7, 1969, in Catlai, South Vietnam.
