I was going through some old photos and found this one. I just took a photo of the print. It was taken of me, in 1971 in S. Vietnam. I was an army captain assigned as a helicopter pilot with the 213th Aviation Company, flying CH-47 Chinook helicopters. If I recall, I set this one up on a tripod and developed it in the company darkroom. I thought is kind of embodied how we all felt at the time. I took pride in my roll as a pilot, supporting the troops on the ground in any way we could. I think by that time we were all tired and worn out, both those on the ground and those in the air. I know there are a number of Hogs who flew over there--Hueydriver and a few other, as well as all those we supported who were on the ground--the Grunts as they were affectionally known. I can't say that this is a wonderful photo, but I would dedicate this to all who served over there. I guess that's why I've saved a lot of old photos from those days.
