I totally enjoyed this webpage...recognized an old friend of mine, F Castleberry. A true patriot; was so sorry to hear of his passing in 2010. My husband is a Vietnam Vet; spent 2 tours of duty there. My dad was a WWII Vet; spent time in the Phillipines, wounded & sent to hospital ship Hope. I love that the Huey has been honored as a Vietnam War hero!! One day I hope to visit it in person.

My hometown is Canadian, TX. Fred Castleberry lived there for several years before going into the Army. I was a friend of his family & still visit with his sister, Winnie E. West. She will be so thrilled that I found this site for her to visit. I lost a close friend from Canadian, Junior B. Pack & recently another young man from Canadian's remains were returned to the states & burined at Arlington cemetery, Charles Newton. My father, EF Porter served in WWII & received the purple heart. Gerald L. Languell, my husband, spent 2 tours in Vietnam before we married. Thank you to all our Veterans who have served this great country, the United States of America, during Vietnam & all our wars before & after that era.

Thank you. I visited 091 today at the Smithsonian. As a former Army nurse of the Vietnam Era, I was truly moved by the reverence of the display. I'm also looking for a copy of the film in which the Journey Home was chronicled. Please feel free to email me if you know where I can obtain this. Janet H Mansir, RN, CPT, ANC.

I had the extreme priveledge of getting to fly in her when I was working at Bell Helicopter in Amarillo in 2004. I was on the first flight. She was beautiful. Serving in the ARMY for 8 years working and flying in one almost every day, it was like I was home again. I got to wear the Hot-Mike. The Pilot even did a slight auto-rotaion for me. Albeit small, but what a rush. I just want to Thank You for the opportunity of letting me be a part of one of her last flights. A moment I will always remember and cherish.

Thanks for all the support you give our military personnel, veterans and disabled veterans and I consider it a privilege to know you guys.

My Dad served in WWII in the Air Force but I have never served in the military. Currently I work for American Airlines and serve as the USA Home Team Coordinator for the 86th Combat Support Hosptials in Baghdad and Mosul. Our group of volunteers send care packages to our military serving in our US Army hospitals and their patients. Our pride and respect go from all of us to all of you for your service to our country. Just in case your Vietnam veterans did not hear it at the airport when they returned to the USA "Welcome Home, We are Proud of you!!!"

I was in Vietnam 15 months (1964 - 1965)and flew as crew chief on UH-1B helicopters. The first 6 months I crewed the recovery helicopter "Road Service" assigned to the 544th and the rest of my tour with the Cobra Platoon assigned to the 114th. Great web site. The Bell Cobra was named after our UH-1B "Cobras".

I attended the Patriot Fest in Lakeway, Texas last month and learned about your fantastic organization there. Do you make visits to individual schools, and if so, how can I contact you to schedule a visit? I am planning an event in Sunset Valley, Texas in June of 2008 in honor of Bob Horrigan who was killed in action in Iraq on June 17, 2005. We are establishing a foundation in his honor to raise funds to assist the needs of our wounded veterans. I would like to include the Sunset Valley Elementary School in our event.
Thank you for all that you are doing!
Please let me know if a visit might be possible.
