Drafted by the Army in 1967, he spent a year in Vietnam as a cook with the Fourth Infantry Division, and earned a citation for 'meritorious service in support of allied counterinsurgency operations'... Wensel, of Boyertown, Berks County, is a retired manufacturer of butcher-block tabletops and a man of few words. But his eyes get misty, and his Adam's apple jumps, when he is asked about his quest for citizenship."
