Between mortars, rockets, RPGs, booby traps and bullets, there was no safe place for any soldier in southeast Asia. 50 years has passed since the war but we have only to close our eyes to rejoin our brothers in the greatest nightmarish adventure of most of our lives. Your air support was critical to the war effort and saved many American lives! Remember your Christmas in Thailand? Mine was spent in Vietnam on an ambush patrol near the Cambodian border. I served with the 25th Infantry Division-3/22nd Battalion, Tay Ninh and later the 93rd Evac Hospital at Long Binh. -We may have served in different units in different AOs but our mission was the same! -Courage on the Mountain- Free to Amazon Prime members- Over one hundred 5 star reviews- courageonthemountain.com
Glad that you made it home brother!

Name: | Keith kmullen@shackelford.law | Entry: | My father, Max Mullen (deceased), flew with the Ponies (at Udorn) from November 1967 to December 1968. After his death, I discovered his "personal" flight log, which (when read with the declassified 1968 SOW) filled in some of his stories However, I have qns, such as abbreviations for missions: "TAC" (refers to Lima 85?); "01A" (road watch drop/pick up, low bird?); "01B"(road watch drop/pick up, high bird?); Please contact me if you can help. | Date: | July 23, 2019 13:45 | |

Paul (or as we called him) "2 T" and I were stationed together at the 20th SOS, Hurlburt Fld. I had been re-assigned prior to the accident. Got to see him at Hurlburt when the dedication for the Jan. 9, 1984 accident took place next to the UH-1P on display.

Hi Mary, I think I've met you before in Fort Walton! 2T is a friend and I always pray for him and hope life is good in all that he does! :)
