Gary Maibach

Vietnam veteran Gary Maibach in front of a Huey helicopter memorial at the Medina OH Veterans of Foreign Wars club, July 2010. Gary was a non-combatant medic. He was, and still is, a member and lay minister of the Apostolic Christian Church of America which has a tradition of serving as non-combatant medics. "I believe that, certainly, the taking of life is not according to the Scripture," he says. But Gary became devoted to and accepted by his Army unit – the 9th Infantry, 4th Battalion, 47th Infantry. Today, Gary is back in his home town of Sterling Ohio and is president of Maibach Furniture Store in Medina.
