 The old warriors in front of the new warbird. (l-r)del Rosario, Mario Aguirre, Bob Androlevich, Bert Goodfallow, Dale Saunders, Brian Benedict, Benjy Johnson, Bill Bloomfield, Ken Fish, unknown, Mike Layman. The unknown person, second from right, insisted on getting his picture taken with the HMM-365 Vietnam group. We didn't know who he was but we let him get in on the photo anyway. Androlevich is looking at him, getting ready to jack him up.  Warbirds in line. The CH-46, MV-22, and UH-34D.  HMM-365 Marines marching past the UH-34D. They looked so young to us.

More pics of the Changeover.  Old HMM-365 Vietnam comrades watching the new MV-22 Osprey taxi in.  The old and the new  The cavernous belly of the MV-22    Watching the end of HMM-365, fighting back tears.  Presenting the HMM-365 colors for the last time. The Presidential Unit Citation Streamer that we earned during our Vietnam years lifts to the cold Carolina breeze.  Watching the faithful warbird leave.Who said that they are only machines? Do they know what it was like to fly in it? Do they know what it was like to come into an LZ and watch and hear the pain of these helicopters as they took hit after hits from enemy fire? Do they know that some of our comrades left their life blood in these helicopters, and all of us left part of our youth in them? s/f del |
