Robert Kiyosaki: A Biography
Page 2 of 6


Fresh from graduating the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969, Robert Kiyosaki began doing what he went to school to learn, that is he worked on and traveled on merchant ships. The experience of traveling the world had a profound effect on him, and once experienced it made it difficult for Robert Kiyosaki to return back to Hawaii (4). The voyages on these merchant ships would take him all over the world. He would be exposed to new cultures, new ways of life and extreme forms of poverty that can not be found back in the United States of America. This taste of the world and experience of different cultures would lead him to a new path. Perhaps of giving back to his country for the opportunity to experience what he did or perhaps for the world he discovered and his belief that everyone deserves democracy and the chance to choose, and make something out of oneself, whatever the reason may be Robert Kiyosaki was eventually drawn to join the United States Marine Corps and was sent to Vietnam.

Robert Kiyosaki served as a helicopter gunship pilot in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. His service and dedication to his country during the Vietnam War was rewarded. Robert Kiyosaki was awarded with the Air Medal. The Air Medal is awarded to anyone who while serving in any capacity in or with the Armed Forces of the United States of America has proved themselves distinguishable through participating in meritorious acts during aerial flights. The Air medal can be earned by a single, heroic, meritorious act or for overall meritorious service to the Armed Forces of the United States of America in some aerial capacity. Towards the end of the Vietnam War, in 1974, Robert Kiyosaki left the Marine Corps and entered the civilian world once again.
