| Comment: | Thank you much for this gift. I spent a day talking to my cousins son, who is now flying Hueys for the AirForce. He had many questions about our times. It was a joy to tell him what was seen and done. Amd how different it was compared to nowadays. Without pictures and memories of all of this and all of you guys, I wouldn't have been able to talk with that young pilot. God bless you all. | |

| Comment: | I transferred from the 121st AHC in Soc Trang to the 57th AHC in April 1970. I was a gunner on Cougar (I can't remember the number) and Crew Chief on 66-00632 then switched to minigun operator on the first Cougar's Revenge in late November, 1970.(This was before Cougar's Revenge was officially created) I left the 57th the 20th of December, 1970. Welcome home everyone. | |

| Comment: | I came to the GLADIATORS in April 1970. I flew my first mission May 6 and had my cherry picked very well (purple heart). I became the current Gladiator 19. Very very busy year. If anyone remembers me please drop a line. My best buds were Drunken Renagrade ,Guru , Scuba, Charlie didn\'t get me but \"agent orange\" is trying his best. | |
