Holy Moly QS!!!
This is one of the most famous "Extraction" battles from Nam. And you led it! Sure is a small world. Thank you for you service, thank God for the Spookies, and HIM for protecting and watching over you and all the men.
Edit: Thank you Jerry for correcting me! It is one of the ones I remember best from my war studies. Top and front of my Fibro Foggy mind because I just watched a movie on air power from WWI, WWII, Korea, Nam, ect. Sorry about that fellers! I hope and ask for forgiveness if I offended any of you. I salute you all and God for your service, which has allowed me to grow up in the freest nation (Nations) the world has ever seen.

Not to take anything away from Garry's story but you've never heard of the Battle of Ia Drang, Battle for Hue, Battle of Khe Sanh, The Tet Offensive, Operation Rolling Thunder or the Battle of Hamburger Hill? For those with boots on ground, I can only guess that every battle they participated in was important to those involved.WillyCamaro wrote:Holy Moly QS!!!

Got it. And generally true. Saw some examples of that. There were some exceptions of course; saw that too.
