XCB builds first Vietnam Vet pool table

Terry McQuillan of Deltona Florida purchased a personalized custom pool table that honors his service with the USMC and his service in Vietnam during the war in 1968 and 69. John Conod, President of XCB and Terry McQuillan have known each other through their employment with U.P.S. both of which have been long-term employees. Conod says that he was aware of Terry’s service in Vietnam and his interest in pool and offered to build him a table honoring his service for our country, and Terry loved the idea. The end result is a one-of-a-kind military/vet pool table that is personally related to the owner. McQuillan was amazed and astonished at the site of his table. He said he had never seen anything like it. “When we finished setting it up and Terry got to see it in its complete state, he walked around the table, inspecting it with a glowing expression on his face.” Conod said, “it was tremendously rewarding and touching to see someone like Terry, who is extremely proud of his service for our country, appear so moved by a creation of XCB’s.”

Terry McQuillan was born 1948 in Brooklyn New York andmoved to Central Florida in 1958. His wife of 26 years is a lovely lady named Susan and between both of them they have 5 children, 14 grandchildren with one on the way. Terry has been employed with U.P.S. for 30 years and among many hobbies he is an avid Harley Davidson rider and owner. Terry’s son Phillip followed in his fathers military foot steps and served with the 1st Battalion Army Ranger division and as Sergeant with the 196th Motor Transportation Unit in Iraq.

Terry served 6 years with the US Marine Corps, with 2 active years in Vietnam. His rank was E4 Corporal in the 1st Marine Division 11th MT Bravo Company. Some of his courageous duties included but not limited to being a gunman on a 5 ton truck in charge of a 50 caliber machine gun, he was on the ambush squad, the reactionary squad, patrolled on night guard duty and he also drove a pace truck to name just a few. He was stationed all over South Vietnam; Hill 55, Hill 10, Monkey Mountain, Hivon pass, PhuBai, Da-Nang, LZ Baldy, LZ Ross and Quang Nam Province.
