Some years after the war, the government of my country purchased almost 60% of the helicopters used in Vietnam. Here in Brazil, the nickname of a huey is "sapão" (big frog). To this day I still see some of them flying along the beaches ... They are used by rescue teams. This machine is very versatile!

Thank you, Michael, I was married to a man in the doorway, 187th AVN. CO., from Ft. Brag, 67-68,

Semper fi.

Ive got to get this book.

Thank you Mr. Rierson, both for your service and for this poem and video. I was a door gunner with the 4th Aviation Battalion, 4th Infantry Divison from August 67 to March 68. Your poem captured the job very well.
