| Comment: | Been quite a while since I visited the 57th AHC web site. It is good to see it active and well-cared for. I was with 57th in 71-72. It was good to see that photo of 4Balls, as someone else mentioned. It's weird to feel like I'd go back to that time of life in a flash, if given the choice. I feel like I could do a better job now. | |

| Comment: | I served in Nam from 72-73 at Camp Holloway. Worked in the helicopter supply at the hanger. Didn't know this site existed until a few months ago. Didn't see any names that I knew. Looked at the yearbook and brought back memories. Thank God for good things. | |

| Comment: | The Vegas Reunion was more than great, It was Super Fantastic. I was the guy trying to run the Hospitality room & bar. You guys kept me busy! I did not realized that when I told Joe and Stan that I would volunteer to run the room for them that I was going to "Go-For" so much ice and pour so many servings and slice so many lemons, that it would so enjoyable. I think that I got to meet and talk to everyone that attended the Vegas reunion. Although my dad told me not to volunteer for anything in the Army I am glad that I got to stand behind the bar ( 2nd past reunions) and visit with all of you and your families. Twas also great that SOG was having their reunion at the same time. I got to see 4 of my crew chiefs/ door gunners. I had not heard from them since Nam. Very nice to reconnect. Clear my tail to the right, I'm going to attempt to hover this old Charlie back into the revetment. Hope to see you all at the next Reunion. Cougar 31 | |

| Comment: | To all that did not attend, you missed a great reunion! Saw people thought I'd never see again. One person I've needed to se for the last 45ish years. Captain Walker, owed him a major I'm sorry sir. Carried it all these years. Finally got to say it, he knew why and said you didn't you were a child!!! He is the greatest. Thank you so much sir. You will always be in my heart. Now about Cahill leaving my AH47 in a LZ durning a resque that I'll never let go, love you Pat, stay well and intouch. Love to all of you HEROS. As always Mike Ruggio | |
