My father was a marine. 1971 his helicopter had to make an emergency landing, behind enemy lines and no where close to a fire base he and three others waited all night for a special unit like these men here to find and rescue them. Dad said it was the scariest night of his life

Back end crews were basically ‘kids”. Amazing courage displayed. Best mission ever.

After his harrowing experience on August 20th 1972, Captain Lawrence remained in the service until his retirement as Major Lawrence in 1986. Sadly he passed away on July 28th 2012. R.I.P Sir...

Hueys were the work horses in Vietnam. Pilots were sitting targets, their hands full of controls. Brave men. Never had a chopper take off without the wounded men they came for. 65-67.

My friend "Murph" flew Jolly Greens for The Kings Men. After the war he flew search and rescue at Luke. He was killed when a faulty main rotor repair became delaminated. RIP Larry

About 40% of airframes and crew members were lost during the SAR missions. Best job ever IMO. I wanted to be a fighter pilot from day 1 but this mission was far more gratifying.

One of the most difficult rescues has been covered in several aviation magazines and is online under “Rescue of Lady Ace 72”. I’m the army aviator that received his emergency radio call and it took about two and a half hours to find him. The rest of the rescue had to abort due to heavy anti aircraft fire and SA7 missiles. Ultimately they were rescued but it was forty years before I found out that two Army aviators were able to get them out

It was a source of comfort for my BN and I that Jolly Green would attempt a rescue if we were shot down. It takes an immense amount of courage to fly a slow moving helicopter into territory where a fast moving A-6 was shot down.
