Ford also served two tours of duty in Vietnam with the Third Marine Amphibious Force in 1966-1968. He once went on a jungle mission with a Special Forces Team during the Vietnam War.

During 1966 visit to my unit in RVN she assisted wounded. When Doc arrived an asked if she was sterile, she replied "at my age you better believe it".
