A finely Due Award - Medal of Honor to 'Nam Huey Pilot

[CAL]

Up until six months ago, when that company closed, I was working with a guy that had the exact same job in 'Nam.

Man, he had some stories. Had his copter shot down once while extracting wounded. His knee got totally destroyed. One of his crew was killed. I felt bad when we had to put in long hours and I knew his knee couldn't handle it. Bob Rooney, tough bastid.

my cousin was there and said those pilots had gonads the size of bowling balls- ten pin. go into the hottest zones to rescue wounded, my hats off to those guys!

"typifying the galantry and intrepidty, at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty". --Heros.

In my mind, everyone who served our country under fire. falls under that title.

Good to see the official recognition.
