They saved so many lives. Underheavy fire they still camein. To this day the sound comforts me. Heard one today on the beach near Destin,FL. Miles away I can pick up that sound, even with my very diminished hearing. God bless all the chopper crews!!!
The guys in Nam used to say there were a few things you could count on absolutely besides your buddy:
a. the medics
b. the medivac choppers-they often went where the slicks and gunships feared to tread
c. the "Padres" whatever religion or sect to the guys they were mostly "Padre"
