The crew were on a rescue mission in Loas for c/s Nail 44 an OV-10A when it was hit by enemy fire and crashed.
Welcome to the Valley! Knowledge has no value unless you share it. This is my personal collection of USAF Jolly Green Giant patches & I want to share my passion of the heritage of the Jolly Green Giants mission with everyone. Please note: I'm afraid none of these patches are for sale, sorry.
Michael F. Dean was also a PJ.
ReplyDeleteMichael F. Dean was also a PJ, not just a gunner.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larry, I've changed the details
DeleteMSgt Paul Jenkins was one of the toughest PJs I ever met. His character exuded confidence and strength. Saw him at NKP not long before the incident.
ReplyDeleteMike was in my class.
