In remembrance to my fellow Rakassans from Delta Company who fell on May 1969. In the battle for Hill 937. In deepest remembrance for co-pilot 1st Lt. Jerry T. Lee and rest of the crew of "Dustoff 927"; from the 326th ("Eagle Dustoff"

Medical Battalion. Who during their attempt to save us took a SAM hit. Their chopper hit the ground and the crew was trapped in the twisted aluminum and bent steel. Minutes later the wreck exploded in a horrific conflagration. They were burned alive in that chopper. I will never forget those crys of horror. A twenty-one salute to them and my fellow Rakassans. Before my moment of silence.

To those that know the nickname for Hill 937. Please out of respect for these men, keep it to yourself. For I do not want to see the rest of this thread to turn out like the Pearl Harbour threads. I Thank You >>
