never say enough or do enough to praise the Men and Women of 15th Med. They came....they saw, they saved our asses no matter how hot their makeshift LZ was.

One of the greatest praises came from a former MCAS Beaufort base SgtMaj...a Marine grunt in Vietnam. SgtMaj "Big Knife" Johnson told me one day that Marine medivacs wouldn't come in because the LZ was too hot. They called the Cav. 4 Medivacs were shot down trying to get to the Marines. The 5th still came in and got the Devil Dogs out. He said they no longer put Marine Medivacs on their freq....switched to the Cav.

A big Hooorah to the men of 15th Med. Doc Fred, you will always be my hero.
