More than once Dustoffs save more asses than I could ever count! If it were not for them and the now known "Golden hour of Life"!
I was one of the lucky ones who witness, yet never rode upon yet those Huey's!

So more than hats off or a simple thank you wil ever due for your accent into the hell of war, that never thanks but takes over and over without regret until we are no longer a memory, but a witness to what war has done to too many others!

I always hate when someone said to me "Thenk you for your Service"! To me! For we were only doing our jobs!

Their are exceptions: This one!

"Thank you for your Service"

May you and I never have to take part or witness these in these hells ever again!
