For you Dust Off boys. This is where your wounded came from. The vast majority of my companys troops eventually were flown out by you guys, and we love you for it. After a firefight, C Company, 3/187th Rakkasans, Vietnam 1967 or early 68. I knew the guy on the ground....cant remember his name anymore. The medic is the same man that fixed me up when I got wounded. He was later killed. This photo was taken by our battalion photographer Earl Van Olstine who passed away some years ago. We had a very high casualty rate in our unit. About 170 men when we first got there.....eleven months later only about 30 original guys left. Thats Vietnam.
