‘Rap’ Peavy of Venice Acres spent nearly 19-months in Vietnam War running a radio station in Laos

In 1967 “Rap” Peavy of Venice Acres was attending the University of South Florida in Tampa when he had to drop out of school because his stepfather suffered a heart attack and he had to get a job to help his family out financially. He lost his draft deferment and became 1-A for the draft. So he decided to enlist in the Army before he got drafted.
