Many stories remain untold; as the vacant cockpits of the Huey's, Loaches and Cobras take their places in the avaiation graveyard of Tucson Arizona, make the time to share your unique and signficant story of those important years. All of us as young men were placed into harms way and were forced, because of the circumstances of the day, to perform to the best of our abilities. Take pride in your service. Thank you for your service! |
