| Comment: | This is message to the 57th AHC unit to let them know that my older brother Larry Blakley passed away on January 27, 2017 from pancreatic cancer. He was stationed at Kontum as a crew chief from 1967-1969 I believe. He was a proud vet all his life and told me many stories. I have a letter he sent home right after the Jaunary 10th attack telling about it I'd like to share if somebody can give me an email I can send a photo copy of it to them. He was only 19 and it's very special. Best wishes, Gaylon Amen. | |

| Comment: | Want to thank the Men of the 57th for the many rides provided to the men of our unit from Kontum to Pleiku and Dakto. When I arrived in Danang I found that I would go to Kontum. After arriving in Pleiku I hopped a chopper to Kontum It was just a few days after the start of TET. The chopper was going to drop me at the MACV compound but upon approach there was enemy activity in the area and the pilot was order to proceed home. Spent the first night in Kontum in a bunker at the 57 with my M16. Thanks me ot the 57th. | |
