Region map

I served with the 1st Aviation Brigade, 52nd Combat Aviation Battalion in Pleiku, South Vietnam (in the Central Highlands)

I was assigned to the 119th Assault Helicopter Company's, 94th Medical Detachment.

I was an E-5 and worked in the Camp Holloway Dispensary and on flight status with the 119th AHC.

My Nickname was "The D.J."

(I answered the Dispensary phone once by saying, "WROV" (the Radio Station I worked for in Roanoke, VA using the air-name Marty Shayne, before and after Vietnam) - it was the Commander on the phone - that is where I got the Nickname)

I came home from Vietnam on May 17, 1969

What Is A Veteran?

A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and including his life."

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
