My father was a door gunner on a Huey in 1966-67. He sent back quite a bit of footage of jets dropping napalm and other footage from the chopper. He was stationed at Bien Hoa.
Long story about how he became a door gunner to start and how he got himself in a bad situation a night or two that ending up being the result of being awarded the Bronze Star.
Keith your story sounds like my dad.

I agree Mike. I watched it and it opened my eyes about a few things.

If Washington would have left the war up to the Generals -- it is estimated it would have been over in two months ... they would start with bombing Hanoi, and I mean all of Hanoi ... mining the harbor ... etc. etc. :flag::flag::flag:

Thank you for being obedient to the call.

You might appreciate (“enjoy” is probably not the right word) a new book by my brother in law Doug Stanton: “The Odyssey of Echo Company”, which is about the 101st Airborne during the Tet Offensive.

Doug’s books are not an easy read but I believe they are usually pretty cathartic for those who were there.

Best wishes –

Just finished Horse Soldiers and saw the movie today. I live in Traverse City and have met and talked to Doug a couple times. Nice guy and interesting to talk to. I've been meaning to pick up the new book, thanks for the prompt.
