Warren Gohl
Warren Gohl enlisted in the Army when he graduated from high school in St. Charles, Missouri, in 1959. He trained in signals, and served at Ft.

He later trained in Czech, Polish and Japanese, and served tours in Germany, where he interviewed defectors and refugees from the Soviet Bloc, primarily from Czechoslovakia and Poland. Between and after his overseas assignments, he held various position in the US before retiring in 1980 as a Chief Warrant Officer 2. From there, he went on to a career in corrections for the State of Washington, and became recognized as a Native American Medicine Provider. He now serves as the Chaplain for the National Memorial of Military Ascent project in Grafton, Illinois.
