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
