Charles Kelly's Flight Jacket Donated
The flight jacket worn by Major Charles Kelly had long been a part of the 57th Medical Company’s orderly room. However, when the company folded its guidon and was transformed to a Charlie Company in a General Support Aviation Battalion, the link to the heritage appeared to be lost. However, it was in the trusted care of their battalion commander, LTC Scott Putzier. On the 24th of July 2009, the flight jacket, now housed in a new shadow box frame and protected by archival quality surroundings, was
officially donated to the Army Medical Department Museum by the DUSTOFF Association on behalf of the Kelly Family. It was donated
at the Gala Event celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the AMEDD Museum. Dan Gower made the presentation mentioning how Charles Kelly’s last words had become the motto of the DUSTOFF Association and a call to duty for thousands of DUSTOFF Warriors since his sacrifice on the battlefield in Vietnam on 1 July 1964. MG (R) Pat Brady spoke next about the man Charles Kelly and all that he signifies and what a great patriot and leader he was. MG (R) Pat Sculley, Chairman of the AMEDD Museum Foundation, accepted the jacket into the official archives of the AMEDD Museum.
 Pat Brady shares a bit of history and insight into the man that was Charles Kelly. |
