RATTLERS and FIREBIRDS....sad to say I was informed today of the death of two of our founding pilots, warrant officers from 1964. William Gault died of lung cancer in June 2001. Allie Campbell died on 1-3-2004 from cancer and diabetes. Allie jumped with the 82nd Airborne on June 6, 1944 as an 18 year old. Heros! RIP.
