Harlan started work with Reece Construction Co, Scandia, KS, while he was still in high school.&nbsp; He worked under the supervision of his brother Harold (PeeWee) Bauer.&nbsp; After graduation he became a member of the Army National Guard in Hiawatha, KS.&nbsp; He was drafted to Vietnam in 1968 with the 25th&nbsp;Infantry Division.&nbsp; In 1969, Staff Sergeant Harlan Bauer was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement in ground operations against hostile forces.&nbsp; He was also awarded the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in the Republic of Vietnam. &nbsp;In 1969, he returned to his home in Hiawatha, Kansas and returned to work with Reece Construction.&nbsp; Harlan retired from Reece Construction Co. as a Superintendent in 1987.&nbsp; In 1988, Harlan started his employment with the City of Hiawatha.&nbsp; He retired from the City of Hiawatha as the City Water Department Manager in 2010.
