Bob Clements at flight school, in Texas, 1968.
Bob and I served, together and met, in flight school, in Fort Wolters, TX.. He was a good, officer and was becoming, a Army Aviator, like the rest, of us. We flew, the OH-23, helicopters pictured, in the photo and there, were 90, plus, of us, in the flight class. We lived, off base in trailers, because there, were no quarters. Flight training, for 1/2, day, ground school, for the other 1/2, day. We all graduated, from Wolters and went on, to Fort Rucker, where we stayed together, as a class and learned, to fly Huey's. When we graduated from there, we all got, one, month's leave and went, to Vietnam. That's the last time, I saw him, alive.

We Remember
Robert is buried at Mt Carmel Cemetery in Paducah, KY. DFC BSM-OLC AM-7OLC
Field Artillery OCS Class 35A-67 Fort Sill Oklahoma
CPT Clements served with Troop D, 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 25th Infantry Division. He was flying an AH-1G Cobra helicopter at 600 feet as part of a Light Scout Team and had just completed a non-firing dive to 300 feet to check out some fires in the operational area. He had started a climbing left hand turn to rejoin the other helicopter when the tail rotor separated from the aircraft. The main rotor head and rotor blades then separated from the aircraft and it plummeted to the ground where its fuel and ordnance caused an explosion and fire which destroyed the aircraft
