Look who came to dinner - Rod Esterak!!! He was lost but now he is found thanks to Wayne Driver and Scotty Colligan. Rod, Scotty and Chuck Bell came to visit. Needless to say several cold drinks were consumed as we caught up 42 years with Rod. I do believe we might see him at future reunions.Â

On the Right, Dave Jones was shot in the leg in Dec 68 while flying a difficult Medavac, in the middle Guy Sparrow his crew chief shot the NVA who shot Dave. I am proud to have flown with both these dudes.

The Wall - Donald K McNeil135 viewsJay Dirnberger Photo
Every time I visit Washington DC I stop by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I first check on my copilot's plaque (Don McNeil May 1968)and then salute all of the names.
I also check on the memorial to the nurses. It is just a few yards away. You will remember them..they were the ones who rushed out of the Medevac tent to take care of our fallen brothers.

50 Year Anniversary 131 viewsThe occasion for this get together was the 50th Anniversary of an incident on Dec 8th, 1967 near Phan Thiet Vietnam. The two men in the back row center Steve Davidson, and Jerry Bonham were shot down in a hill top landing zone, and spent the night engaged in a heavy firefight. Steve provided essential life saving medical care to Jerry. Our Wounded Warrior Hero on the bottom right Herschel Ryan and our departed buddy Neal Heape rescued the crew the next morning. The rest of the men shown, Chuck Bell, Clyde French, Rod Estrada, Mike Dubberly, Joe Zigler, Al Scotty Collgan, participated all night in combat assault support for the crew and troops engaged against a numerically superior and heavily armed entrenched enemy. The issue was resolved by close air support, artillery, napalm, and the guts and bravery and leadership of the 1CAV infantry.
