Hello guys,I know we dont know each other any more, but once apon a time our lifes were in each others hands.I was in nam from 69-71 started as a grunt and became a Rattler, then a Firebird which is where my heart was in the Guns, I loved my job, and I loved you guys I flew with. Although my memory is not very well, I sure no that I miss all you guys.

First time to view the site - organized and impressive. I only have a few photos left, as most of mine were destroyed in a flood years ago. I served with the A501 AVN BN from 10/64 - 04/66; crew chief with 2nd Platoon - Phantoms; Capt. James was the Platoon leader; 1st helicopter was B model Huey, #622054. Sounds were "right on". Sure brings back a lot of memories, good and bad. Will try to get remaining copies of photos to you. I also have some poems and songs that I have written to help with the "aftermath". Perhaps you would like a copy of one or two? Recently was honored by Congressman for receipt of medals (9) never given. Again, great job, fellas. SEARCHING FOR: Any info on Ralph Morris, E4. Served same time; door gunner. Good friend. Thanks.S.D.Nave, Jr. (SP5/E5)flyingeagle045@aol.com
