POSTED ON 7.4.2001, POSTED BY: David Atkinson, "Old Friend" Its July 4, 2001. I was there the day you went down. Didn't find your ship for 30 days. Went to the crash site and looked for you. Found Dobry and McGlothlin, brought them out, looked everywhere for you. Have wondered for years what happened. You and time are the only people who know. You were a true "Light Scout". Think about you every day. Your friend, SP5 David Atkinson, DTrp, 3rd Sqd., 4th Cav., 25th Inf. Div., a fellow "Light Scout".


I flew LOH's and Cobra's in D troop and was a seasoned veteran at the ripe old age of 20 when Andy came to our unit. We became good friends and he often stopped by my hootch during the evenings for a beer, more than likely because I had the only air conditioner in the unit, to my knowledge. Andy was a veteran non-com and Green Beret before he went to flight school to be a pilot and we were all a little bit in awe of his calm demeanor and gentle nature. I have never known anyone I respect more in my life and I hope to see that smirk I remember so well when I meet my maker and get re-introduced to the people I have come to cherish. His last moments, or days, are a mystery to us but I will say that I don't know anyone personally who better exemplifies the spirit and code of ethics that all of us who served as Army Aviators strove to achieve and he is a hero in the true sense of the word. God Bless You and Keep you.

Elliot's been on my mind for several weeks now, and then I just (happily) stumbled across this site entirely by accident.  I was a newbie cobra pilot in the same hooch as he.  As in all units, newbies got treated poorly by some of the older hands.  On one particular occasion, a couple of guys were giving me an especially rough time, really over the top.  Elliot, without even raising his voice, just told them to lay off.  It never happened again.  I've thought of that incident many times over the years & now I finally get to say "Thanks Elliot, that meant a lot to me". Farris Poole Email Address: farris@studio10photo.com.
