| Comment: | ------------ FREE AIRSHOW TICKETS -------------- I have 6 general admission tickets plus 2 parking passes for the "Thunder Over Michigan" Air Show held on the 3rd and 4th of August, 2019 at the Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michican.

| Comment: | Was wondering if anyone knew Charles E. Renkvish. Charlie & I traveled to RVN together in March of '69, all the way to Holloway at Pleiku. I stayed at Holloway with the 170th & Charlie went on to Kontum & the 57th. Charlie was WIA & I was informed he was @ field hosp. at Pleiku AFB over the company freq. & we sat down at the AFB & I got to see Charlie. He had a GSW/leg. Left? CRS. Sadly it turned out to be the last time I saw Charlie. Sadly, 57th yearbooks start at 1970. Charlie was class of '69. Anybody know Charlie, his ship's tail number, etc.? | |

| Comment: | My Daddy Tom Heelas served with the 57th A.H.C. Gladiators till I believe 1969. He never shared many stories, however, always talked about his brothers. He instilled in us kids the meaning of our military and thier families. I'm honored to have my dad as my hero along with all of you. Thank you for all you have done for us and our country. May God Bless you always! | |
