A long time ago, in a land far away. The memories fade, but the scars remain. We did have some great times. My respects to a great friend and old room mate.

Welcome Home Brother……

I too was with the 187th AHC when I first got in country 9/71. The move had already been made from Tay Nihn to Dian, but we still staged out of Tay Nihn. Flew as Gunner on 705 Ship of Fools.

It seems like yesterday…..but the years have past. I thank you and the rest of our pilots for the fantastic job you guy's did. We were young, dumb and full of —

Take Care Tom…..

John

Hello Sir, I was with 187thahc at Tay Ninh in 70-71. You pilots were the best . I volunteered to gun when one was on r&r or other reasons and our pilots and crew chiefs/gunners were so great at their jobs. I went to last Nov. reunion, saw my best friend from Nam for first time in 37 year s, he died in Mar. Thank you for your service , bravery, and dedication to your fellow Crusaders and Rat Pack. I,m glad you made it sir.
