Branson Mo.

Duane Doran
Attended Branson Vet parade this month. I saw about a half dozen trikes the riders all had Seawolves jackets brought back memories of summer 1970. I was with MCB 5 we were building raised pads for choppers and piers for the river boats, at a place called Vinh Gia, about a mile from Cambodia. Used to have to get up at night and help carry rockets and mini gun ammo for the choppers several times a week. Just wanted to see if any of you flew in there.

been there,,,, done that   in fact had a short timer coming with us back to the lst when we decided to put 315 into the drink,  his eyes were big as bowling balls as we were spinning and spinning getting ready to dump the cyclic and blow the transmission,, and true to fact, i hooked him and hit the deck as we did, the tranny came out right were the training told us it would, about head height
