Larry Applin
Robert Renfro Crew Chief Killbuck, Ohio
?? Schultz Crew Chief Chicago
Marteneniz Cook
Mr. Gardosik WO Pilot
?? Mason Philadelphia
?? Bunts Crew Chief
Our company clerk who had the nick name of ASAP as I was told he received a message wanting the Major ASAP and he went asking for Major ASAP.
We had a pilot and spotter killed during my tour. I don't remeber where but I want to say Quan Loi. I have photo's of the wreckage as we had to salvage parts from the plane. As I remember it he was taking off and was shot and the spotter went down with the plane.
If I can find the rest of my photo's I will send them in.
Many fond memories
Ron Hendricks

Are there any "NONSTOPS" in the Tampa, Fla. area? Saw Cpt. Smith (68-69), he lives near Brooksville, Fla. It would be nice to know where everyone is, so if someone were traveling through their area a visit might be in order, to hash over old times. I know some of our exploits were not so big back in the old days, but after time and a lot of thought, they become EPICS.

Hi: Found some great sites although I've only found two fellow crewchiefs (O1G Birddog ) that I served with for the 184th Rac 1st Platoon. We were TDY in Duc Hoa. I was in country from Oct. 1969 to Oct. 1970. I made contact with Ernest J. Fink who now lives in Ellis Kansas and Ronald J. Mccafferty who lives in Mo. I have talked to both of them and we sent picture to each other. If anyone out there knows the where abouts of a Captain Ralph Hyatt, Lt. Ruttenberg or Warrent Officer Weeks I would appreciate some info. God Bless.
I am a soldier
of blood and bone,
this body of mine
is just on loan,
So for my body
you may weep,
as for my Soul
it's the Lords to keep,
I'm off to war
and to fight,
for a cause I feel
is just an right,
If I should die
for this foreign man,
Be it for God, Family
and our Home Land,
So let it be Seen
and Known by all,
The American Soldier
Answered The Call!!
No terrorist plot
Nor terrorist scheme,
Will ever conquer Freedom
An American Dream!!!!!
