I spent 05/23/69 thru 07/13/70 in country as a helicopter flight engineer on OH53's, OH6's, UH1 A,B, D and H models endin on a MIKE model gunship flyin perimeter guard@ Dau Tieng III Corps. I was with the 1st Air Cav's 229th aviation battalion's A, B and Delta companies in Tay Ninh, and Dau Tieng with TDY juants to Song Be, Cu Chi, BooDop, Tahn Se Nueit and Bien Hoa bases.
Like a many of u i have a lot of vivid memories about my time in country and not ALL of em nitemarish or bad either. Some of the best times of my life and certainly among the most alive times in my life came while there. Lost a many friend and comrade durin n since for one reason or the other but yet still have those of u here and elsewhere with whom to share memories with who actually KNOW and understand what and where im comin from when i post, not to mention why. This affords me great comfort and peace believe me guys and i put THAT on all i love. Thanx a Million fellas for that AND ur service and from one vette to another, WELCOME HOME and may the best of ur past days b the worst of ur futures...AMEN ?????
