Linda Green, No, I wasn't able to make it to the wall display that time, but have seen to it in the past as well as the original wall in DC several times. Yes,we have found Wake Forest to be a very military friendly community. I have Disabled Veteran plates on my cars and I often have Thank You notes placed on them and have even received gift cards to Starbucks. Thankfully, a far different attitude than what we faced when we were serving. I only hope that it continues this way.

Ron, I had no idea you'd been ill. Glad you're better! Keep on keepin' on!!! Hal Bowen, were you at The Wall display in Wake Forest year before last? We were and it was beautiful. Also, Wake Forest is the only place we've been where random strangers see our Gold Star plate and make a point to come up to us and say, "Thank you for your sacrifice".

Does anyone recall who was 712's Crew Chief during May of 1966? Or the SFC Operations Sergeant during May of 1966? I am looking for the men who flew with me on a three trip med-evac mission out of Cu Chi to a 25th Division artillery fire base.

After going through this message board I feel like I should show up at the reunion as a visitor. The only names that I recognize is Hal Bowen and Frank Anton but if you give me a a/c tail number, I can probably tell you if it was one of ours during my time in 66-67.
