Comment: | I research the NARA archives and assist soldiers with lost awards and PTSD claims. While assisting a fellow Vet with research on his unit citations, I found that the 52nd Avn Bn (HHC) received a Presidential Unit Citation for the period 29 Oct - 30 Nov 67, confirmed in DAGO 38, 71. Reviewing both the order and DA Pam 672-3, the "52d Aviation Battalion\" was cited, but only HHC was credited with the PUC. I have been involved with retroactive individual and unit awards. Shelby's "Vietnam Order of Battle" shows your unit assigned to the 52nd Avn Bn. If you have a member of your association with the interest and ability, I am looking for a POC from your unit to work on correcting this oversight. | |

Comment: | Thanks, folks, for finally obtaining and displaying the 1970 yearbook. Was good to see old faces and names, some I didn't remember 'til I saw them again. After living in the small Kontum camp, I felt 'safe' on the An Khe installation. Still had to pull guard though. | |
