Message: Looking for individualized "names" that were painted on in-country Army copters 1962-73. I'm closing in on the 2,800 "name" count so far collected, documented and cataloged. Book is to be published and readied for Spring 2011. Hundreds of never-before-published pics and "name" database will be contained in a 2-vol set. Contributions and input welcomed. Respectfully yours, John Brennan, former SP5, 114 AHC, 1970-71, Vinh Long AAF, Mekong Delta.

Message: Would like to get in touch with maintenance personnel I worked with. Would also like to have pictures of Camp Mosier. I have a lot of good memories of Korea, my second home.

I was with the 377th Medical Company from June 1974, I replaced Dan (Dangerous Dan) Sullivan as the Maintenance Officer. I remember his flyover very well. I was then transferred to 3rd Aviation Detachment in February 1975. I gave the Army 20 yrs, 1 month, and 1 day (not that I was counting) and retired as a CW-4, out of Ft. Ord, CA. The 377th Medevac patch that hangs on the patch board in the USO lounge in San Francisco International Airport is mine. I still have my old pocket patch and unit crest. Would like to talk to some of my old flight buddies.

Message: All of my fellow Vietnam vets and I are entering our twilight years and I for one have been reminiscing. I would like to THANK all of the medics and crewchiefs and maintenance folks who I probably took for granted back then. I just looked forward everyday to flying and I am sure I thanked them but not enough!!!. During my 10 months flying Dustoff with the 326th Med, we never had an aircraft go down or even have a precautionary due to mechanical problems. Incredible. I don't have a clue who the maintenance officer or his team were. I wish I could go back and thank them. And how about those crewchiefs and medics. When the day was over we went back to our hooch or the club and the crewchief's day wasn't over. They had to live with the carnage they saw every day. Soon after I got to Dustoff a pilot said "Don't look in the back". I rarely did. I was spared those visions. One picture I will never forget however was a soldier we evaced to the hospital. He had both of his legs severed and as the medics from the hospital brought him around the front of the aircraft on a stretcher he gave us a thumbs up!!! It was the only time I broke down. I pray he survived and wish I could thank him.

Message: I flew with then 1LT Johan Dunnavant, SGT Floyd Smith and CPT Woolover, among many others. At the time were flying a pilot project called "TIKI MAST" which was the forerunner and introduction of the now current civilian Medical Evacuation System. "TIKI" stood for Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois and "MAST" Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic. John was a good friend as well as an honorable man and father. He was our civilian liaison officer for the program. COL now GEN (Ret) Brady and Mr. Rocco were also assigned to the division or supporting units. Smitty was our crewchief and CPT Woolover a kind and gentle person. It was a great unit and I have many fond memories of those guys. Many were ex-Vietnam vets with many "Hot" flying hours. It was the best job and experience of my life. I was devastated when they died in the mountains there. As they say, the good die young, and these three were certainly three of the best who gave their lives doing what they loved best. We truly never turned down a mission. COL Brady and Mr. Rocco set the example for us all. "No Slack Medevac"
