Great reading all the comments about the 1/9. I was a LOH crewchief with the
25th Inf at Cu Chi and Tay Ninh. God, I can still live those "first light" missions,
flying on the deck and the warm sweet smells of burning campfires. Flew alot
around Straight Edge Woods and Michellin Rubber Plantation. Also Hobo
Woods. I'm 52 and have three grandchildren. I can tell them stories but
somehow, you just can't seem to express all. HAd a good friend named Stan
Pedrick who crewed a LOH with 1/9. Knew him at Ft. Eustis when he returned
in 1969. Anyone know him??? Blaster 87

I was a Little Bird Pilot with C company 1st of the 9th Cav at Phouc Vinh from
about Aug 1969 to Jan 1970 I was a Huey driver with 227th for about 5 months
before that. When I got there there was only 2 LOH6 pilots left and no Birds to
fly... The Maint Pilot Lt Smith trained me and we brought all the new Little Birds
up from Hotel 3.... at the time, I was the first CW2 to hold a command position
as White Platoon Leader as there was no RLO's to do the job. We finally got a
replacement RLO and I got to go on R&R, when I got back He had been killed
already.... bad times. I just ran accross your site, and found Grover's site (he
was my Snake pilot)boy it was great talking with him, he was on line when I
E-mailed and came right back at me..... Thanks again for being here.

Just checking the net found this place thought I'd take a look see. I didn't get to
fly with any cav units, but had many friends that did. I was down south flying
with the 121st Soc-trang tigers and the second time at Da-Nang flying with the
Hurricanes (CH54s) loved the spirit allways displayed by the Cav. Love you
guys. Great site!

I was a helicopter pilot with the First Cav from Aug. 67 to March. 69 the first
year was with B- 229th. I then extended and joined D-229th. then C Troop 1/9 as
scout for the last four months as Cavalier 16. I beleive that Service in the armed
forces was the correct and honorable thingto do reguardless of the outcome.

Served from 6/64 to 5/66.We were C/3/17 Cav at FT Benning, Ga when i joined
the outfit.The 1st thing I had to do was get checked out in the OH-13S.After I
crashed and destroyed one during the Air Assault II exercises in the Carolinas
they grounded me for a month. While grounded, and with time on my hands Don
Radcliff ( Maj Radcliff was our Troop commander who became the first person
Killed in Vietam from the 1st Cav Div) sent me out to "borrow a mule to
participate in a Birthday bash that he had planned for Bull Whip 6 , LTC John
Stockton. We dressed the Mule up with two M-60s hanging on his sides and a
rotating beacon attached to a sand bag sittin on his rump. On Bull Whip 6's
birthday morning we all gathered at o dark thirty in front of his tent, had the
bugler play reveille then sang Happy Birthday to a Stunned Sqd Commander.
Well he loved the dammed mule and ordered it to be taken back to Ft Benning
to become the Sqd Mascot.But the guy who owned it wouldn't sell. So CWO
Dave Gailling our Supply Officer found and baught another Mule who Became
Maggie The Mule, who we took to Vietnam, and who subsequently was shot
and killed one dark moonless night while munching grass near the perimeter at
An Ky by by a Ist CavTrooper.I do not think LTC Stockton was ever aware that
Maggie was not the same Mule that participated in his Birthday ceremony. I
went to Vietnam With C Troop after we became 1/9 Cav. We went on the USS
Boxer from Jacksonville across the Atlantic thru the Med, the Suez,Red Sea
Indian Ocean and finally the south China Sea to Quin Nion. I then had the
privilege to fly my H-13 off the Boxer to the base camp. That was my last flight
in an H-13s.I was then transfered to Chuck Knowland's Blue platoon and flew in
support of the best Infantry in the world untill I transfered to a new unit in the
south in June 66. Thanks for for having this page. My apologies for being
verbose, I didn't have time to write a short note. Thirsty-37
