Paul,
The Dustoff crews (Medivac HU-1 Hueys) did a fantastic job in Nam. They took a lot of risks to save lives. Glad to hear you were one of them. I don't think they have ever gotten the recognition they deserved. Congress (or the president) should have given them a special award for the risks they took every day to save lives. They regularly flew into hot fire zones to evac wounded Troops.

Stan,
Yes! My evac was at night and unsecured. Made it to 27th Surg in Chu Lai w no pulse or respiration. Had lacerated ascending aorta.
There should be a special monument to these courageous aviators. Of course, there were no un-courageous aviation crews there-not that I saw.
Thank you for your sacrifice!

I am a Vietnam vet, but was assigned out of the country. I had not hear of "Dustoff". I googled it and found this: http://chuckandlorene.com/
