Soldier, Policeman, Patriot is the story of one man who decided early in life that he wanted to do the right thing in all contexts, for everything and everyone that he touched. He joined the Army at age 16, to defend his country at the outbreak of World War II. Twenty years later, he left as a decorated officer who survived three wars, saved many lives and fulfilled his destiny to serve and protect. David E. Teich Sr.'s story is one of commitment and passion for protecting the world in which he is an active participant. He accomplished what he aspired to do and did it in a manner that teaches us everything there is to know about believing in our country, our community and our fellow citizens. As you share this journey, you will recognize his drive and ambition coupled with modest beginnings and a world short of courageous acts. David wanted better for himself and his family. No matter what he did, he taught his sons and the rest of the world that he was serious about giving back to his world, succeeding in doing so into the present.

Black My first meeting with David Teich was in the spring of 1951 when the Chinese made their largest offensive of the Korean War. I was a member of the 8th Airborne Ranger Company. At the time, we were at least five miles deep in Chinese controlled territory. We were on a mountainside engaged in a fierce fire fight. We had a third of our company down, dead or wounded It seemed no one could help us. The order from higher headquarters, was "get out best way possible." Our radio operator made contact with the Platoon leader of the 3rd Platoon, Company C, 6th Medium Tank Battalion. They were part of a force covering the withdrawal of the US 24th, Infantry Division. The Tank Platoon leader could not bring his tanks up the mountainside but told us if we could make it to the valley floor he would have his tanks waiting to take us out. That Platoon leader was then Lieutenant David Teich. On a razor-back ridge drawing fire from three sides and the fourth a sharp drop off, we concentrated our fire on the lower ground Chinese and broke their fire. Carrying our critically wounded we made it to the valley floor. True to his word, the brave Lt Teich had his five tanks waiting for us. I never knew David Teich as a policeman, but I have known him as soldier, patriot and friend. His story is inspirational, informative to all and a guide for young Americans . It is a life well lived and a FIVE STAR READCol. Ret. Robert W. Black

He trained as a mechanic and was duly assigned to 744th Light Tank Battalion. Here he trained as a gunner and learnt to drive all the battalions vehicles, including their M3 and later M5 light tanks. Against his will though, he was made a medic. It was in this role that he went with his unit to England and then to battle in Normandy.The hedgerow fighting was difficult for everyone. Teich had occasions where he sought the wounded, without knowing where the front line was. He quickly learned the realities of battle and bravely undertook his job. He operated in conjunction with a halftrack ambulance and litter bearers. This and other much less important jobs was not what he’d came to war to do. A clever ploy however saw him transferred to the battalion’s recon platoon and he served with this through the rest of the drive through France and in Germany. His role is essentially that of an infantryman. He is involved in patrols and scouting and there are several fascinating stories, including his associations with British forces. It is not a long section of his book though.After doing a few odd jobs, Teich rejoined the army. First the Air Corps, then he did OCS, with a whole heap of interesting postings and experiences along the way. As an officer he was assigned a platoon of M4A3E8 tanks in the 44th Tank Battalion. With the Korean War going badly some armoured officers were being reassigned to the infantry but Teich manages to get sent to the 6th Medium Tank Battalion, attached to the 24th Infantry Division. It was in this role that he engages in some desperate combat against the North Koreans. The situation is a mess, some orders are crazy, so he does what he has to. There is some very close quarters combat here and this part of the book is much more detailed than the WW2 phase. Following the war he stays in the army for a while and has some very interesting postings, particularly to Germany.After the service, Teich gets involved in policing. This is quite a lengthy part of the book because he has a huge variety of roles and experiences. There are heaps of interesting anecdotes. Even better, is the learning process. He writes of his decisions and actions, not all of which were met with applause from his employers. It is fascinating reading of his integrity in the face of buffoonery. There is also a little on his family challenges and this gives the full picture of a brave and patriotic man who lived an extraordinary life.The text is quite readable. Cindy Butts writes Mr Teich’s recollections down in the first person. This all reads well enough with only a curious failure to capitalise the names of military units a jarring note. This book is probably best read by Americans who are interested in members of the Greatest Generation. The policing section is longer than the military phase, so there’s a lot to learn altogether. Highly Recommended.Note - Unfortunately Amazon has discontinued its list feature, so I can't add this book in with the other WW2 US Armored Corps accounts I have read.

Nevola I must be a sucker for memoirs from World War II veterans but I loved this story despite the numerous editing errors (which included repeated passages and inaccurate descriptions of weapons and units just to name a few). Mr. TeIch must have had one of the most diverse military careers in the history of the United States Army. Volunteering for everything, he found himself as an infantryman, scout, military policeman, medic, driver, mechanic and heavy equipment operator. He even got unique jobs he didn't volunteer for.While his World War II experiences were most interesting to me, his tour of duty as a tank platoon officer in the Korean War (he went to OCS between wars) was surprisingly compelling as was his duties in Cold War Germany and with the Third Infantry Regiment (Honor Guard) in the Military District of Washington. These were by far more interesting (to me) than his career as a law enforcement officer.By all accounts David Teich is the kind of leader (and follower) everyone would love to have. His ethics should be a role model for others to follow. His sense of honor and integrity stand out above the rest.There are wonderful photographs at the end of the book along with a description of the many medals and citations awarded to Mr. Teich. This is a fabulous memoir of more than just a life well lived but a life of public service that should be honored and remembered; you only have to overlook the editing errors to really enjoy this book.John E.
