This time set the stage for my life to follow. Following the Army, I became an R.N. and have worked in emergency departments and air ambulance.

Thank you for the efforts made to welcome back the MEDEVAC units from OEF
and OIF. If you have the opportunity, please take a look at the units that
"covered" for those units while they were deployed. I am sure you will find
some interesting commentary. I would even bet you will would find some
members of this organization participating. Thanks again for a great effort
and a great organization. CW4 Charles Phillips Camp Stryker Baghdad, Iraq |

Arrowhead Films ("In The Shadow of The Blade") is looking for Texas Vietnam
veterans with a positive story to tell about the Vietnam War Red Cross Girls
(aka "Donut Dollies"). I hear they hopped a few DUSTOFFS to get out to the
troopers. We're working on a documentary about their untold (and often
mistold) story. If you have a Delta Delta story and can come to Austin to
tell it, please contact me. Salutes to you all. Cheryl 512-657-7880 cfries@arrowheadfilms.com |

Flew with 159th out of Long Bihn. James Seals was DO 158 prior to myself. I believe he was just mentioned in the Spokane Wash. paper ( Spokesman Review) for donating a kidney to a stranger. At least the paper says he spent a year in Vietnam as a "Medevac" pilot - you know how newspapers are. Anyone know whereabouts of 1LT "Doc" Bezold or CW2 Chris Warnock? Bezold was with 159th and Warnock with 45th med. Co. (I think) |

I'm a member of the first Navy Air Ambulance Det going to Kuwait/Iraq to
relieve some of the Army guys that have been doing this mission in Iraq for
so many months and tours now. The more I dig into the "DUSTOFF" tradition
and such people like Major Kelly the more honored I am to be a part of it.
Certainly there are those that can't be happy us "squids" are intruding on
their business, but I hope I can convey to you all that it is with a deep
sense of that tradition and honor that I go to do this and I intend to make
it my mission to see all of my colleagues feel the same. Thank you so much for what you have given. V/R LTJG Jonathan K. Schein HSC-25, Det 5, Air Ambulance |

| Message: | My father flew with Major Brady on the day he earned his Medal of Honor. His name was Gene Edward Steward and he was an E-5 at the time. He was put in for the Medal of Honor but was down graded to a Silver Star. I believe on that day when one of the helicopters went down, Major Brady and my father were the only ones that survived. I remember my father telling me stories of Major Brady and how he was regarded as a hero in our family. I am a crew member now in a medevac unit (45th med. co (AA)) and have my own stories for my kids of missions I was on in Iraq (OIF II). I received two Air Medals, but the thing I am most proud of is the fact that I can share, with my father, stories of our combat medevac days. I would like to get in touch with Mr. Brady so I could reunite him and my father. I would hope that he would remember my father because my father sure remembers him. |
