Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Fellow Psyops officer, Zeke -  worked with him to plan & execute low level UH1H flights over targeted areas to broadcast 'Chu HOi' messages and dropping leaflets from 'Huey' .  We did this every few days as missions assigned. We often took small arms fire at these low levels.  Zeke and I were in same Psyops Unit Officer Course at Ft Bragg --
