"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

Read the book "DRAFTED AND SERVED" BY STEVE BANKS if you haven't already. Tremendous amount of research on Warlords with daily
After-Action reports
and personal stories. He details missions of Skip Swain and other courageous Animals. Want to know how many rockets or rounds
of ammunition the Cobras or the Animals fired each month? It's detailed in the book!
Get one while he still has some copies. You won't be able to put it down!
Find his address in this guestbook or Amazon |

Co B Feb68 to Mar70 Skeeter Crew Chief Mar69 to Mar70. OH-6A 800 was my first Skeeter.
|
| Comments: |
Hi Tom. I was looking at the Skeeter History. OH-6A 800 was dumped in the Ocean. It was shot down with Capt. Shelton and WO
Day (wanted to relive his crew chief time) and I were shot down in Ship 800 and then it was dumped. That was my first Ship
and it came with 23 red Xs and that was my OJT since I was trained (as all of us were) on Hueys. 800 was an older model and
its engine was one of the best. Just an update as to what happened to our Ships. I also have a photo of a Cobra that was shot
down. You can see the 9 shots the NVA put in the canopy in about a 12" diameter. Not sure what Cobra Front Seater died that
day. |
