These were US Army helicopters – two Hueys and a OH-6. He was assigned to the 173rd Airborne and the 1st Infantry, so he had a lot of time on helicopters.

I wanted to share some of his stories for Memorial Day. If you enjoyed the video, please consider liking and subscribing to the channel. I plan to put out more content about veterans like this. And please let me know what you think in the comments.

I interviewed my father and several other veterans for the upcoming documentary, "My Father's Brothers" – https://www.myfathersbrothers.com This interview is not part of that film, but similar to the mission of "My Father's Brothers," it's a journey to learn about the things my dad experienced when he served in the military. I will be posting more veteran stories on this channel in the future. I hope you enjoy this video.
