| Comments: |
Howdy to all the Warlords. I am not sure about updates but LOH-800 was shot down with Capt. Shelton, WO Day and myself, and
then brought back to be scuttled and then dropped in the South China Sea. |

On September 26,68, my squad was the first to reach the men who were pinned down behind the wall. I had an m-79, feathers
on my helmet. I fired into the hooch with the machine gun.
I found the site because Les Hines told me about the book Drafted and Served,
I'd like to hear from anyone who was there. Bob |

Gentlemen, the following request is for a future Army aviation history publication. Question: who among you during your Vietnam
tour-of-duty recall seeing/crewing/piloting an in-country Army helicopter which exhibited on its fuselage a "personalized
painted name" like, for example, IRON BUTTERFLY and SUSIE Q? Thank you, John Brennan, johnmailman2@yahoo.com, former SP5,

Question,please help... Christmas Eve '70 I got a ride in an OH-6A from a chopper unit near Chu Lai main air ops terminal
out to Min Long. Could this have been a Warlord bird?
If you were only up on the peninsula, what might the unit have been?????
I maintained runway at Min Long and saw Warlords rearm from conx box along runway. Many thanks,,,damn half a century ago |

On these dates I crashed in the LOH and don't remember anything. If anyone can help me fill in any information, it would
be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone remember the name Wise. I think he was the pilot the day I crashed. |

| Comments: |
"TO THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THAT THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW!"
I came upon your site while surfing the net and knew that the above statement would have special meaning for you. I served
with 3/22nd, 25th Infantry Division out of Tay Ninh as an infantryman. Fought the NVA on the slopes of Nui Ba Den twice with
numerous firefights in and around the area bordering the Cambodian border. The cover photo on my site looks out the front
window of a Huey onto the Black Virgin Mountain. Remember your Christmas in Vietnam? Mine was spent on an ambush patrol
near the Cambodian border. After 5 months in the field and numerous firefights, I was pulled to the 93rd Evac at Long Binh
to work with soldiers suffering from combat fatigue. Over the last 10 years, I chronicled my tour of duty and the response
has been overwhelming. There are presently over One Hundred 5 Star Reviews worldwide
I believe that you will relate to this true story of the fight for Nui Ba Den and the struggles and sacrifices that the soldiers
who served their country in Vietnam endured. Thousands of Vietnam Veterans have proudly endorsed these memoirs. Please check
out the website at courageonthemountain.com with the accompanying introduction. It will make you proud for your service
and all the men and women who served our country during the Vietnam war.
I proud that you made it home brother! Thank you for your service and May God Bless! George Reischling

Get my helicopter book 3 months before the big booksellers start selling it. Why wait on February 2nd, 2018 for Amazon or
Barnes & Nobles to release it when you can have it 3 months earlier, and less expensive! I'll be mailing out books starting
this Nov 4th. You'll receive a 10% discount, free postage (USA only), and zero sales tax. It will cost you $31.95 by check
or $33.45 by PayPal. Send to: 864 Wisconsin St., Chico, CA 95928. Thank you, John Brennan, former SP5, 114 AHC, 1970-71, Vinh
