Daily Participant Bio: Tim Denlinger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim, whose road name is Dingo, served in the US Army. Tim volunteered and served from June 10, 1980, to June 9, 1986. He was an 05 Charlie which is a radio teletype operator. Tim was never overseas; he was stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Fort Campbell, Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked why he participates in the NVAR, Tim said, \u201cI got involved with the NVAR through Terri Hoops, who was a close friend of our families and as long as I\u2019m healthy, I\u2019ll probably never miss it again. It\u2019s one of the most moving things I\u2019ve ever done and is very, very important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Tim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
