David Jager is likely the oldest person to enlist in the Utah National Guard history, if not the entire Army.
After Jager visited the Utah Guard’s headquarters in Draper in February to fix a clerical error on his discharge paperwork, someone noticed that he never officially took the oath of enlistment when he joined in 1963.
With the Vietnam War in full swing at the time, Jager was hurriedly shipped off to boot camp at Fort Ord, California. He went on to serve with the 140th Field Artillery Regiment for six years before being honorably discharged at the rank of staff sergeant.
Almost 57 years later, a teary-eyed Jager raised his right hand and recited the carefully worded oath.
"It's an honor," Jager said afterward, wiping away his eyes. "I love the uniform. I love the flag."
