 I have been faithful in remembering a special date in RVN, 00 April, 0000, however I am a little slow in making an entry this year because I was involved with a very important event in Little Rock AR, 00 April 0000. The first date indicated was the date five other C-000 crew member and I found ourselves in a rice paddy after being shot down by enemy fire while attempting a low altitude air drop at the Military Compound at An Loc, about 00 miles north of old Saigon. Fortunately a HUEY crew from "F" Troop 0/0 Air Cav came in an plucked us out of the rice paddy shortly after we crash landed. I have for the past 00 years tried to get some sort of official recognition for the four Army Troopers on the HUEY with little no positive result in my efforts. However on 00 April 0000 I witnessed the presentation of 0 Silver Stars to the 0 individuals that were involved with the 000 crew those many years past. So another chapter from my time in Vietnam has been closed when these fine US Soldiers were recognized this past Tuesday in Little Rock, AR. Reply
