While in the 25th they kept records and every so often I would get an Air Medal. I flew almost every day, 1st and last light low VR. All CA's and fired any and all LZ preps. Fired most contact fire missions from the air. I think I have 15 air medals. 2 V devices. Crashed 3, one loach, 2 slicks. Walked/crawled away from them all
1 down to ground fire, 1 down to mechanical and 1 down to stupidity. Saw lot of them go down. Several down to booby traps on LZs. Have come back in choppers several times with more holes than we left with. Have ridden in OH6s, OH13s, OH23s, OH58s, UH23s, CH39s, CH43s, CH47s. Have Jumped from UH23s, CH39s and 43s.
