Utilization of it, it was multiple uses. The helicopter took the place of trucks, jeeps, and other equipment used in other wars. That is lacking troops medevac him troops from the safer. As if you believe it is safer, it actually was. Arriving along roads that could be ambushed, and even though they took aerial fire, they could pinpoint a man to a place quicker. A lot of things was learned by utilization of the helicopter, like our medics today used the helicopters. It brought a whole new industry out there for the use. Can you tell us about your own personal experience . When did you serve in vietnam . Did you volunteer or were you drafted . All helicopter pilots were volunteers. It was not something you were told you were going to do. I flew lift ships and gunships a total of nine months, and then i went to maintenance which was not necessarily safer than being shot at every day because in tontenance you were subject engine failures, transmission failures, hydraulic daily ors, hydrau
Gentlemen. I am glad to take your questions. This you think that at point, our force levels in vietnam will begin to level off . Or do you think more troops may be needed in the future. Consideredpreviously and approved the recommendation of joint chiefs of staff for our force level. General discussed with me, and he anticipates no increase in that level. We are getting close to the end of your fourth year in office. You are being subjected to a regular personal criticism, young am senator preacher in williamsburg. Onder how you surprise. Ot a 35 men whoof the preceded me. No public official, certainly not one that has been in public life 35 years, as i have, would fail to expect criticism. There is a different type of criticism.

Myself. On march 29, 1973 the last combat troops were withdrawn from vietnam. When they returned to the United States these veterans like many who returned earlier were greeted with a cold and at times hostile reception. Looking back more than 50 years at the experience during the vietnam war and return home, billy two feathers who served with u. S. Army wrote my return to the states was typical of several people i talked to. Family and friends would say been a while. Others would call me names that i wont repeat. Kenneth bizby who served in vietnam wrote when i got back to my hometown no one seemed to notice that i had been away nor did they care. These accounts and others record the National Sentiment on a personal level. Their stories remind us that most returning veterans were not even acknowledged for their sacrifice and that many suffered because of it. While the nation has worked to correct this mistake over the last few decades there is more congress can do to honor our Vietnam
