This is in response to John Long. I was in B Troop, 3/5 from Oct 67 through Jul 68. But I spent time with a number of D Troopers. Your father-in-law David Dayson doesn't ring a bell. Maybe these names will refresh his memory though. I was friends with Dan Brophy and Jim Tasker (KIA Jun 68), Bruce Brogoitti and Don Hawkins (KIA Oct 68) and also Larry Fitzgerald, Doug Fife, Charlie Palacios. All were crew chiefs or door gunners, except for Tasker, who was a pilot. Other names I remember were ARPs Wayne Benes (medic), Ron Delp, and Mike Paonessa, all of whom I've visited on occasion at the Wall.
