Dan, I printed this gem off way back when so I could share it with Dad in the nursing home.. I appreciate that it is back up to be viewed again..
Thanks again for finding us worthy to share.

I am just a bit too young to have experienced Nam. A fact which shames a bit, but for which one must admit one is eternally grateful.
Many wonderful, brave young men gave the ultimate sacrifice in that hell hole.
I did, though, have the experience of riding in a helicopter with a Nam Vet. He was flying water drops in 1981 for the BLM, in a Bell Jet Ranger.
Suffice to say, he took my breath away. I am pleased to report, I did not lose my lunch.
It was an hour worth of memories that I will cherish forever.

Fun reading. I was in class 68-23 Somewhere along the way there was a chopper unit sharing the airspace with a callsign of Hooker. Was that you?????? 
I am..........disturbed.

Anyone wishing to read this, send me an email address via PM and I'll forward a PDF copy. 113 pages it is. I have been informed that it "is not a book" by someone who I respect and I'll let it go at that. It is copyrighted and I did an edit about a month ago to clean up various aspects.

I have read it twice before, and it is fantastic. Not sure what the definition of "book" is, but this is an awesome read.
